Hi All,
I need to get the version of python installed and store it in a variable for later use. Whereas it is printing on the console instead of storing to variable. I am able to store output of ls command in a variable. Please check the below code :
root@myhost:/volumes/srini# cat python_version.sh
python_version=python --version
echo "****"
echo $python_version
echo "****"
ls_output=ls -l python*
echo "****"
echo $ls_output
echo "****"
Please check the output of the code :
root@myhost:/volumes/srini# ./python_version.sh
Python 2.6.8
****
****
****
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 147 May 26 09:35 python_version.sh
****
Please note, its able to store output of ls command in a variable, but not of python --version. Its directly displaying in console.
Regards,
Srinivasan
