[Gambas-user] Reading the return from a shell command

[Dave sharples]

Please excuse my ignorance but I'm new to gambas,


I am trying to issue a shell command from gambas with a couple of
arguments and use the return value in my app but I an struggling to get
a grasp on how to do it.

I want to issue a command similar to

DOTHIS arg1 arg2

this would return

Youranswer Something-Else

and the only part of the return I want to use is 'Youranswer' and
discard the rest.

I think I have worked out how to issue the shell command but I am a bit
stumped as to how to get and manipulate the return.

Has anyone any pointers.

Most greatful
Dave
