I understand how the system command works. I understand the difference between system() and backticks. My question is this: I want to make a call to an external program and I want the output printed to the command line as it is processing, BUT, I also want the output returned to me so that I can parse and check it for certain conditions. Basically I need the functionality of both system() and backticks. How do I accomplish this? I looked into redirecting STDOUT, but didnt see how it was possible.
