Thanks for the assist! It got me a bit further along.
I ended up with the following:
Code:
xlscnt=`find . -type f -iname '*.xls*' | tee >(cpio -dumpv &outpath) |wc -l`
from a command line, this will copy out xls files, and store the count from wc -l in the variable, xlscnt.
The problem now is, this works from a command line prompt, but it doesn't work in a bash script. What I get in the bash script (named myscript.sh) is the following:
Code:
myscript.sh: command substitution: line 20: syntax error near unexpected token `('
myscript.sh: command substitution: line 20: `find . -type f -iname \'*.xls*\'|tee >(cpio -dumpv $outpath)|wc -l'
Line 20 of myscript.sh is as follows:
Code:
xlscnt=`find . -type f -iname '*.xls*'|tee >(cpio -dumpv $outpath)|wc -l`
I want to capture the variable xlscnt for inclusion in a report later.
One step closer.........
