[Gambas-user] OT: BASH help!

[Hamish Robertson]

You're a champion! thank you so much! One last question...how do I pipe the
output into a variable(String) to be used in the control file? I'm guessing
the perl script here will be the easiest. If I can get a variable that will
work in my bash script I'm away! :)

Thanks so much.
H.
