capturing output of a shell comand

[BetaGamma]

Hi everyone
I have been trying to capture the output of a shell command (say ls or 
echo *) in a variable but all i have been able to capture is the return 
status of system comman which is 0.
I also tried changing the default output handler from STDOUT to the  
filehandle of a file I have created hoping tha the optput of my chell 
command will be captured by the new filehandler but all in vain.
This problem is killing me.
Please help.
Thanks
Pawan

Hi guys...
 
If I want to remove my apache server do I need to only delete the $HOME/apache 
directory and delete the enteris from my .cshrc or anything else is also required.
 
Thanks
