Lianja/VFP provides tight integration with the command shell. The ` ... ` command sequence (backticks) can be used to run external shell commands that are piped together and to substitute the output into a Lianja character string.

Try this in the console:

Windows:

? "Date is `date /t`"

Linux:

? "Date is `date`"
