Hi all,
I know this is not valid FVWM syntax but it shows what I'm trying to do:
*FvwmButtons: Fore `cat HOME/.fvwmColors | cut -f3`
*FvwmButtons: Back `cat HOME/.fvwmColors | cut -f2`
DeePBLue>> cat ~/.fvwmColors
violetred4 yellow darkcyan antiquewhite
What's the best way to get this behaviour? I tried using a PipeRead:
PipeRead 'if [ -r $HOME/.fvwmColors ] ; then \
fg=`cat $HOME/.fvwmColors | cut -f3 -d" "` \
bg=`cat $HOME/.fvwmColors | cut -f4 -d" "` \
else \
fg=AntiqueWhite \
bg=RoyalBlue \
fi; \
echo "*FvwmButtons: Fore $fg"; \
echo "*FvwmButtons: Back $bg"'
But if I put this PipeRead command in a file (say 'testPR') & do a:
Read testPR
from FvwmForm-Talk I get this error message:
sh: -c: line 2: syntax error: unexpected end of file
Any help/pointers greatly appreciated.
SCoTTie! :)
