Am 25. May, 2011 schwätzte Dazed_75 so:
In a bash script, how can I set the contents of a variable to the result of:mount | grep tftpboot | wc | cut -c 5-8
As Kevin already pointed out, use command substitution. numlines=$( mount | grep tftpboot | wc | cut -c 5-8 ) In this particular case, you can shorten the pipeline. numlines=$( mount | grep -c tftpboot ) You might even be able to just get the data directly from proc. numlines=$( grep -c tftpboot /proc/mounts ) ciao, der.hans -- # http://www.LuftHans.com/ http://www.LuftHans.com/Classes/ # <arclight> Delicious red tape, like a Twizzler but flat. And adhesive.
