I want to capture into my bash script (in a variable) the output of some command that prints its output to terminal. I have tried the following:
TEST_OUT=`the_command ARG1` #Nope
#Putting the line "the_command ARG1" into a separate script, testing2.sh,
TEST_OUT=$(./testing2.sh) #Nope
testing2.sh
TEST_OUT=$? #Nope
I am 100% sure that when I run...
> the_command ARG1
...in a terminal, it prints to the terminal exactly the information I want to capture.
Thank you for any help!
