I have a list that I need to use as input into another command to get the output I need for this project. can someone help me or point me to some good resources out there?

This will give me the list I need omnimm -list_pool LTO-Ultrium | awk '{print $2}'
We then simply need to feed this commands output into this next commandsfirst fireld omnimm -modify_medium <field1> <field2l> <field3> to get the out put I need.

thanks

Code:

#!/bin/ksh
let i=0;
for command in `omnimm -list_pool LTO-Ultrium | awk '{print $2}'`
do
    field$i="$command"   
done
omnimm -modify_medium  "$field1"  "$field2"   "$field3"

I ended up solving this problem with the hint you gave Thanks! Unfortunately I lost some data in my home directory and cant remember how I used that logic to solve the problem. but I needed to comback and thank you regardless.
