[SOLVED] gphoto2 commandline client

Hello,

I'm making a script for making tethered shooting easier in linux.
With that I'm using gphoto2.

But i want to display the battery status:
in commandline it is:

gphoto2 --get-config batterylevel

as a result I get:

Label: Battery Level
Type: TEXT
Current: 100%

Now I only want to display the percentage, is this possible?

thanks

Code:

gphoto2 --get-config batterylevel | grep Current | cut -c 9-13

Edit - You might need to mess with the cut values; I'm at work, and not using linux at the moment.

Cheers,

Josh
