Hi,
I wonder if anyone know a way to redirect the STDOUT directly to a variabel
in a shellscript w/o using tempfile.
I know I can use a tempfile but I'm looking for a way to avoid using a file.
in other words
Does anyone have an alternative to this? I would like to be able to run
this script read-only :
#!/bin/sh
DIALOG=${DIALOG=/usr/bin/dialog}
dialog --inputbox "Hitme" 8 40 \
2> /tmp/tempfile
myvar=`cat /tmp/tempfile`
Tia
Jim.
