RE: Pase qshell script output

[Steve Pavlichek <spavlichek@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Backticks? I don’t think I have ever used that key before but that’s what I needed.

It may not be pretty but it gives me the results I needed


fp=`pwd`

ls -ld * |grep '^d'|awk '{print $9}'|while read d

do

sz=`du -sk $d|awk '{print $2,$1}'`

qty=`find $d|wc -l`

echo $fp" "$sz$qty

done

Thanks

You need to use the backticks that Jack included. That executes the
command and replaces it with the output.
