| May 27, 2016 at 0:29 | comment | added | jimmij | @tempforFindMeInTheWoods If you want to present output of the command parted -l to the user via dialog box then probably option --menu is a better choice instead of -yesno. In such case you would have to play a bit with descriptors to store output into the variable, for example: output=$(dialog --backtitle "Package configuration" --title "Configuration sun-java-jre" --menu "$(parted -l)" 15 40 4 1 "sda1" 2 "sda2" 3 "sda3" 3>&1 1>&2 2>&3 3>&-); echo $output | |
| May 27, 2016 at 0:01 | comment | added | tempforFind Me In The Woods | just the dialog. Pardon my confusing english. I need parted -l to be displayed and then I can put in code somehow to capture a user entry of a letter (/dev/sd?). | |
| May 26, 2016 at 23:54 | comment | added | jimmij | @tempforFindMeInTheWoods Into which "little block" do you want to output that parted -l? Sorry, but I don't understand what you are trying to achieve. | |
| May 26, 2016 at 23:40 | comment | added | tempforFind Me In The Woods | now is there a way to output a code block (ex parted -l) into the little block? I see the option "--programbox" but nothing is happening | |
| May 26, 2016 at 23:28 | comment | added | tempforFind Me In The Woods | oh ok that makes sense | |
| May 26, 2016 at 23:21 | comment | added | jimmij | @tempforFindMeInTheWoods if by output you mean exit code, then just as usuall: it is stored inside ? variable, try echo $?. | |
| May 26, 2016 at 23:17 | comment | added | tempforFind Me In The Woods | thats beautiful "Bla bla bla..." but how do you capture the output? | |
