Retrieving results from 'do shell script'

Scripting Forums AppleScript | Mac OS X
#1

Hello everyone!

I’m working on quite a script for work (we’re unix based in-house, laptops are mac’s and handling a large amount of machines). So what I’m trying to do is run a script that helps simplify the majority, if not all, the day-to-day tasks and with that I need to retrieve information from the ‘do shell script’ and continue processing from there. Anyone got any ideas on how to do this?

Thanks,
Curtranhome

Do Shell Script automatically sends back the result in “the Result”.
or You can also have it put into a variable like this

set resultvar to do shell script "The Command"

where “resultvar” is the variable you want to contain the result
(btw - you can use any variable name)

What command do you want to use in the shell script?
