Execute a command line app but i want a string returned.

D

dei

Ive been looking into how i can use SSH to connect to our servers and
pull data back into my spreadsheet.

The SHELL function is good to execute apps but i want the text string
that the application returns rather than success or failure.

example:
c:\>ssh me@server "uname -a"
SunOS 5.9 <---- Gimme gimme.

Any help is appreciated.
