All,

was hoping anyone could provide some syntax help.

I want to populate an array from a system app call like so.... and then
print out each element.


my @ftapes = system ("evmvol -w label_state=3|grep barcode"); print $ftapes[0];

You're looking for backticks:

my @ftapes = `evmvol -w label_state=3|grep barcode`;
# etc...

Hope that helps.

James
