Subject: capturing command output to a variable
Date: Sun, 11 Jan 2009 21:23:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <7d0c05ac0901111323u61269393vcf0c2f5fb3b5b955@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

I understand that turning on logging will allow me to save command
output to a file. But what if I want to save the output in a
convenience variable??

e.g. How can I do something like the following where I capture the out
of the "where" command.

set $x = `where 1`
echo $x
