Bellow you have an example that works. -------------------------- MAIN DEFINE retVal INTEGER DEFINE keyword CHAR(20) DEFINE command CHAR(40) LET keyword = arg_val(1) LET command = "grep ", keyword clipped, " *" RUN command RETURNING retVal IF retVal = 0 THEN DISPLAY "Keyowrd ", keyword clipped, " exist on some file " ELSE DISPLAY "Keyowrd ", keyword clipped, " does not exist on some file " END IF END MAIN -------------------------- S'rgio > samruddhiv@gmail.com wrote: >> Hi, >> >> I would like to know that how we can run a UNIX commands and capture >> there return values in Informix 4GL. >> >> Suppose I want File comparision command like cmp to check in 4GL & >> capture a result which is 0 means both are equal in some variable , how >> would i do this? >> >> Else, the UNIX Command which returns last line of file & i would like >> to capture/save this line in Informix Variable. >> >> Please give me solution. >> >> Thanks >> Samruddhi > > > have a look at fglio.sh.Z (another quality product from yours truly) at > the > IIUG software archives > > > -- > Ciao, > Marco > ______________________________________________________________________________ > Marco Greco /UK /IBM Standard disclaimers > apply! > > Structured Query Scripting Language > http://www.4glworks.com/sqsl.htm > 4glworks > http://www.4glworks.com > Informix on Linux > http://www.4glworks.com/ifmxlinux.htm > > _______________________________________________ > Informix-list mailing list > Informix-list@iiug.org > http://www.iiug.org/mailman/listinfo/informix-list > >
