If you want to preserve the exact output, use the binary format invoked with the -b flag [command -b]. This returns the results as list of bytes. You could use [list tosymbol] to convert the whole thing to a single symbol.
i have tried this (and used list/tosymbol before with filenames as numeric characters), and it works. but the problem is, that
exec date +%S%M%H%m%d
(my randomseed which looks like 3401210201 for example)
apparently prepends a parsed numeric value to LS_EXIT (first) outlet of [command]).
the output is something like print: 5.70921e+09 print: 0 and nothing at the middle (and right) outlet.
with any character (non numeric) added to the date string, everything woks as expected.
bis denn! martin
