Zenity - return value from specified column
Hi

I'm just wondering whether it is possible to return the value of a selection, in a specified column, in a zenity list to a variable.

For example. Say I had 3 columns; first being radio-buttons, second a description, and third the command the description relates to. I want to return the value in the command column (column 3) to a variable instead of the description (column 2: which is returned by default).

Thanks

--print-column="2"

Do all versions of zenity support this, or is there an alternative option for older versions?
