I am using bourne shell.

I did go on the FAQ site but I dont see an example in which we are trying to capture output generated by a script commands into a variable. Notice the bold S! Smilie. What I mean is, I need to capture output fromt the ftp command dir $FILE as this will tell me if the file exists on the ftp server.

NAME
lr_environment - Export Lire configuration in shell script form SYNOPSIS
eval `lr_environment` DESCRIPTION
The lr_environment command is used to import the Lire configuration in Lire shell scripts. All of Lire configuration variables will be written in a format that can be evaled by the shell. Shell scripts don't usually have to use that command, since it is done by the defaults file sourced by each command. The old names used by when the configuration was done in shell script are also exported by this script for backward compatibility. AUTHOR
