hcitool scan via shell script
Hello,

Im new to shell scripting , and i have the following question .

The hcitool scan command returns the bluetooth address of the phone . When it is run the output is something like


Code:
Scanning....
             00:A1:5D:AB:B2:E9  Nokia 6600

Can i get the output in a varaiable in a shell script ?

I tried redirecting the output to a file, as follows


Code:
hcitool scan > addr

But the file only recorded "Scanning....". The remaining part was not saved.

Please help.

Thanks.
