[SOLVED] Setting variable + command as a new variable Raspbian

Osbian · 01-21-2014, 09:18 AM

Hi

I am trying to make a script using variables instead of long commands and paths. This is what i have for now:

Code:

skript='/home/pi/Adafruit-Raspberry-Pi-Python-Code/Adafruit_DHT_Driver/Adafruit_DHT_Real 2302 4'

What I need is 2 more variables built from "skript".I have these lines at the moment

Code:

$skript | sed '1d' > /home/pi/humid.txt
$skript | sed '2d' > /home/pi/temp.txt

and need the

Code:

$skript | sed '1d'

to be a separate variable, as well as

Code:

$skript | sed '2d'

Any suggestions?

Try this? I think this is what you're trying to do:

Code:

SK1=`$skript | sed '1d'`
SK2=`$script | sed '2d'`

You can assign a variable to a command line sequence if you encase that command line sequence in back-single quotes. That's my experience, I'm not sure if this will work for you, but give it a try.
