I have a password reset expect script which stores all the op to an file. I need to check the whether password is successfully changed by greping out the file and storing the o/p to a variable.
But we try to print the variable , its shows only the command instead of its o/p.
First, i do not understand what you need the "exec"s for. In fact
inside a script should make that script terminate at this point, running "command" in its place instead. This, it seems to me, is hardly what you want.
Second, i have no idea what this is does:
But it definitely won't do what it is supposed to. If you want a process substitution to take place - that is, execute a command and assign the output of it to a variable - do it this way:
Furthermore:
is a useless use of a pipeline and the wc utility. Use
Hello!
I'm having problems trying to extract the contents of a variable and placing it into a text file. Grateful for any help.
Been trying something along the lines of:

As part of an expect script, I have to convert a strange user ID to a conventional UNIX ID. To do this, I read the contents of a file and do a little awk magic. Here's that bit of the expect script:

Thanks,... (2 Replies)
