>> append formatting

jafa401 · #1 (**permalink**) 10-28-2008

Code:

  var=$(find /etc/*)
        tput smso
        ls -l | echo $var >> log

i am losing at the formatting when i append it to the log
is another way of doing it

You could try this:

Code:

find /etc/ >> log

If you do it your original way, you need to add quotes so all the files get assigned to the variable:

Code:

var="$(find /etc/)"

Also, I don't think there is anything to be achieved by piping anything into the echo command.
