Yes, the value of
outvar will just hold all the content of your file. You might prefer to process the variable or create another by reading the file in a different way. It's up to you, but you can use many ways to read specific things. For example:-
- To read the 3rd line, this would do sed -n3p This could be written as third_line="$(printf "%s" "${outvar}" | sed -n3p)" or third_line="$(sed -n3p filename)" depending
- To set a value if your file is null, you could [ ! -s filename ] && variable=0
- To set a value if your variable is null, you could [ -z "${outvar}" ] && outvar=0
- To scan for non-numerics and set the value to zero, you could attack it in several ways, e.g. delete the digits from the string and see if there's anything left; try to add zero and check the return code (writing all output/error messages to /dev/null to keep it clean) etc. etc. It depends what makes sense to you.
Does this help you sanity check your data?

HISTORY
The GNU shtool subst command was originally written by Ralf S. Engelschall <rse@engelschall.com> in 2001 for GNU shtool. It was prompted
by the need to have a uniform and convenient patching frontend to sed(1) operations in the OpenPKG package specifications.
