Hi,
don't know if this is the right newsgroup, but it's the only one
I can find with "bash" in its name :-)
I want to do something like this:
result=""
/usr/bin/output_generator | while read line; do
extracteddata=`echo "$line" | sed -e 's/X/Y/'`
result="$result $extracteddata"
done
It is not a bug in bash. it is just how it works. the while loop
creates a subshell and changes to the variables are not visable
outside of the subshell. if you put the while loop first, then it
will not create the subshell.
do this:
result=""
while read line; do
extracteddata=`echo "$
Thanks for your reply.
