Full Discussion: Parsing OSX UNIX command results which print in multiple lines

Appreciate the follow up. The issue now is a bit more devious: setting an array with these values doesn't know how to break up the resulting text! Perhaps another problem for another thread, perhaps not.

Here's the original code:
Code:
networksetup -listallnetworkservices | awk 'NR>1'
Wi-Fi
Display Ethernet
Bluetooth DUN
Thunderbolt Ethernet
Display FireWire
Bluetooth PAN
Thunderbolt Bridge

Now, if I set a variable and then print those results to that variable, I get a series of words that aren't parsed by LINE. First, the variable:
Code:
services=`networksetup -listallnetworkservices | awk 'NR>1'`

Then showing the results:
Code:
echo $services
Wi-Fi Display Ethernet Bluetooth DUN Thunderbolt Ethernet Display FireWire Bluetooth PAN Thunderbolt Bridge

All those spaces essentially defeat the initial reason I needed this list in the first place! I need individual entries for each line, added into the array: Wi-Fi, Display Ethernet, Bluetooth DUN, Thunderbolt Ethernet, etc.

Meh.

btsockstat

BTSOCKSTAT(1)						    BSD General Commands Manual 					     BTSOCKSTAT(1)

NAME

     btsockstat -- show Bluetooth sockets information

SYNOPSIS

     btsockstat [-nrh] [-M core] [-p protocol]

DESCRIPTION

     The btsockstat utility symbolically displays the contents of various Bluetooth sockets related data structures.  There are few output for-
     mats, depending on the options for the information presented.  The btsockstat utility will print results to the standard output and error
     messages to the standard error.

     The options are as follows:

     -h      Display usage message and exit.

     -M core
	     Extract values associated with the name list from the specified core instead of the default /dev/kmem.

     -n      Show Bluetooth addresses as numbers.  Normally, btsockstat attempts to resolve Bluetooth addresses, and display them symbolically.

     -p protocol
	     Display a list of active sockets (protocol control blocks) for each specified protocol.  Supported protocols are: hci_raw, l2cap_raw,
	     l2cap, rfcomm and rfcomm_s.

     -r      Display a list of active routing entries (if any) for specified protocol.

EXIT STATUS

     The btsockstat utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.
