I am executing a system() function which returns me a file name. Now I dont want to display the output on the screen(ie the filename) or pipe to a newfile. I just want to store it in a variable. is that possible? if so, how? thanks

We can use the redirections operators to save the output of commands into files. Redirection operators redirect the output of a command to the file instead of the output terminal.
The easiest way is to use the `` feature in Perl. This will execute what is inside and return what was printed to stdout: my $pid = 5892; my $var = `top -H -p $pid -n 1 | grep myprocess | wc -l`; print "not = $var\n"; This should do it.
Well,There is one more easy way by which you can store command output in a file which is called redirection method. I think redirection is quite easy and It will be useful in your case.
so For Example this is my code in c++
#include <iostream>
#include <cstdlib>
#include <string>
using namespace std;
int main(){
system("ls -l >> a.text");
return 0;
}
Here redirection sign easily redirect all output of that command into a.text file.
