var=`date` ; echo $var Tue Aug 14 11:58:46 2001 Multiple results? Please define. -----Original Message----- From: Justin Bengtson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, August 14, 2001 11:57 AM To: 'euglug' Subject: [EUG-LUG:2187] BASH question is it possible, in a BASH script, to invoke a program, stuff the return into a variable and perform actions based on what was returned? what if the invoked program returned multiple results? is there a way to sort them out and assign them each variables? or do i have to learn perl?
