Assigning basename result to another variable
This is a two part request for an assistance.



I am not sure how retrieve value from basename command - line 270 -so in can be output as variable CLI_COMMAND - line 250 in whiptail input box.



As coded I can input from keyboard ( stdin?) into input box using redirection.

I can extract wanted values using "do dir..." and print them to terminal - stdout.


What I need help with is assigning results of "do dir..." namebase to another variable.



Perhaps the answer is in output redirection, but I do not know where in the code it should be applied.





Code:
# start of menu 13 processing 

   	 	 	 	   13)
  248                echo "TEMPLATE Option 13"
  249 #stupid spaces AGAIN  
  250 CLI_COMMAND=$(whiptail --title "Test Free-form Input Box" \
  251 --inputbox "Enter command " 10 60 usb_devices   3>&1 1>&2 2>&3)
  252 # 1>&1 2>&2 3>&3  
  253 exitstatus=$?
  254 if [ $exitstatus = 0 ]; then
  255     echo "Processing commmand " $CLI_COMMAND
  256 else
  257     echo "You chose Cancel."
  258 fi
  259 echo "process command START " $CLI_COMMAND
  260 $CLI_COMMAND     #TOK  
  261 pause   
  262  echo "process command END " $CLI_COMMAND
    263 pause  
  264 # extract value at * (?)  
  265 # for  directory  *  
  266  for dir in /sys/class/net/*/wireless; do
  267 #if the file *  is -d directory (?)  
  268     if [ -d "$dir" ]; then
  269 #extract only   base , no extensions  
  270       basename "$(dirname "$dir")"
  271       echo $?   # print  exist status 0  OK   
  272 # don;t work print empty line echo   "$dirname"  
  273 #echo  entire path  
  274       echo "echo  entire path here " $dir  
  275       if [ "$debug" = true ]
  276          then  
  277          echo "Printed list_wlan_interfaces" $dir  
   
  278          pause  
  279       fi
  280     fi
  281   done
  282                 ;;
  283 #done with menu 13

FYI

The code was pasted from three parts taken form nano editor via LibreOffice because I could not copy it in one piece in nano.
