Taking output from lspci and using as input

dannycalgarysci · 03-25-2011, 03:36 PM

Hi everyone! I've used this forum for some quick tips over the past and everyone seems pretty helpfun so I decided it's time to join. Anyways hoping to get some input on a problem I'm having.

I want to take the output from lspci | grep VGA and grab the BusID's of each video card installed on a server. I then want to take these BusID's and convert them to decimal (Which I can do fine). I then want to take these numbers and have them as the input of a few perl search and replace commands for xorg.conf. I'm mostly stuck on trying to get each BusID that is outputted from lspci and using them as inputs (or variables).

Thanks for any help, and I hope this was the right area to post this in.

Hi,

Is this what you are looking for:

Code:

lspci | awk '/VGA/ { print $1 }'

Hope this helps.

EDIT:

Store output in variable:

Code:

busID=$(lspci | awk '/VGA/ { print $1 }')
