note 32759 added to ref.exec

Hi, I know this is a PHP forum, but maybe you can help me. My question is: is there an analog command in C/C++ for PHP's shell_exec? I know there's the system() command in C/C++, but it doesn't return the complete output as string. For example, how would you "translate" this from PHP to C/C++? $var = shell_exec("ls"); //$var will contain the output string Thanx L.
