<BR>I don't know if PowerHouse can do this<BR>
but it would be greater if you could send <BR>
a command as an argument to getsystemval.<BR>
<BR>
E.G.<BR>
<BR>
Define RESULT_STR char * 80 = &<BR>
getsystemval ( "`wc -l myfile`" )<BR>
<BR>
Or<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
Define RESULT_STR char * 80 = &<BR>
getsystemval ( "`myscript myfile`" )<BR>
<BR>
where myscript is a shell script that returns <BR>
a string to stdout.<BR>
