Hi All,
I know how to do this in Raku (Perl 6), but how do I assist the
return values of this zenity call inside a bash script to separate
variables?
$ zenity --forms --title="Create user" --text="Add new user"
--add-entry="First Name" --add-entry="Last Name"
--add-entry="Username" --add-password="Password"
--add-password="Confirm Password" --add-calendar="Expires"
aaa|bbb|ccc|ddd|ddd|09/10/2025
You could, for instance, assuming a small number of return arguments:
$ retVal=$(zenity --forms --title="Create user" --text="Add new user"
--add-entry="First Name" --add-entry="Last Name"
--add-entry="Username" --add-password="Password"
--add-password="Confirm Password" --add-calendar="Expires")
$ v1=$(echo $retVal | cut -d\| -f1)
$ v2=$(echo $retVal | cut -d\| -f2)
$ v3=$(echo $retVal | cut -d\| -f3)
$ v4=$(echo $retVal | cut -d\| -f4)
$ v5=$(echo $retVal | cut -d\| -f5)
$ v6=$(echo $retVal | cut -d\| -f6)
Thank you!
