Hi,
In perl, we can do
$output = `file filename.txt`;
How can i do this in Ruby?
I know that there is system to run shell command like this;
system("file","filename.txt")
but how to return the output of "file" command to variable?

$output = `file filename.txt`
In fact, you can even add the ";" and keep the Perl code altogether. :-))
$output = `file filename.txt`;
Kind regards

I'd prefer Perl's qx:
$output = qx{file filename.txt}
In Ruby that is
output = x{file filename.txt}
Note the absence of the dollar sign at the beginning of the variable
name. The dollar has different meanings in Ruby and Perl.
