If you mean the external shell (say, "bash" under Linux or the DOS 
command line in Windows, or similar) then you can only input strings -- 
everything is a string in such shells.

      

    

  



Yes, I meant capturing data from bash



  

    

      
There are two ways to convert such strings to lists: the easy, unsafe 
way; or the slightly more difficult but safer way. Think of it like The 
Force, where the Dark Side is simpler and more attractive but 
ultimately more dangerous  :) 
      

    

  



I think in my case it's safe, but it's good to be given the warnings.



Thanks again to all of you - I think that I can do it now from your
various posts.
