Shell Programming and Scripting

I would like to capture output from two commands to a test file on the same line...
I want to get a file with all Applications and the Version of it...here are the two commands I use to get the output.

To get Application list I use

Code:

ls -1 /Applications/ |grep .app >> ~/Desktop/InstalledApps.txt

Also Maybe someone can help Add searching sub directories too.

I would also like to add the Applications Version

Code:

awk '/FBundleShortVersionString/{getline;print}' /Applications/$Application.app/Contents/Info.plist |cut -d">" -f2 | cut -d"<" -f1

If possible I would like to write to line at a time and not have to worry about editing it or issues with merging data. At some point I will take the time to create a mysql database, but just want a simple text file for now.

Sample Output Should be....
Address Book.app 4.1.1
Calculator.app 4.2

This sounds like a search on an iPhone because I know they use .app. I use Fedora and Redhat and we don't have any .app but if you have your /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf defined you can snmpwalk for "HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrSWInstalledName" and this will list the package and version information your looking for. For info on setting up the /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf check out Quick HOWTO : Ch22 : Monitoring Server Performance - Linux Home Networking

you can also do this on a redhat system with 'rpm -qa'

This is for Mac OSX 10.5.5 Leopard.
But it's really a very generic question about merging data from two files and setting up variables. I actually will use this to search for the Applications only 2 directories in...

Code:

sudo find /Applications -depth 2 -name *.app |sed 's/ /\\ /g'

There is really nothing in the /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf that is useful now.

I found a completely different way of getting the list of apps. I will post a different question.
