Redirecting command output to input of another command

HI guys,

Sorry I can't wrap my head around this one. So hopefully someone can help.

I want to run

gsettings list-schemas (which return a list of about 100 names separated by spaces)

and somehow direct each name one at a time as the input to this command:

gsettings list-recursively

I've tried it with awk, and standard | piping and also as a string variable strvar=$(gsettings list-schemas) and using the $strvar as the input but I am missing something in between I'm sure like for - while or proper syntax of awk etc

Can someone help as I would like to be able to save the output of each schema entry to make it easy searching etc

Thanks heaps in advance :)

Not @ my computer to test but you might be able to use shift along with awk. Id google awk shift entries to see if anything comes up.

This script should do the job:

Code:

#!/bin/sh

for i in `gsettings list-schemas`; do

        gsettings list-recursively $i

done

Or as a one liner:

Code:

for i in `gsettings list-schemas`; do gsettings list-recursively $i; done

Thanks heaps man that's just what I was after :D
