Modify the script so that it doesn't output "19\n-7\n0\n0\n" but instead let it output "rrdupdate whatever.rrd N:19:-7" (fill in the proper name for "whatever"). Then have your OS process this as a command, from within unix this is done by surrounding it by backticks, I'm sure you'll find a way if on windows. Whatever variant you can think of will work, you can for instance read the variables into a shell script and process them from there, or you can create and then execute a batch file. As long as the resulting command (rrdupdate yourdatabase.rrd N:19:-7) is executed, you're fine. No more MRTG, just the script and the rrdupdate command.
