ipodpatcher scripting question.

(1/2) > >>

jackbnymbl:
I'm writing a script which requires the use of ipodpatcher, and I'm kindof a scripting n00b, so I was wondering if anyone could tell me how to get just the device location from "ipodpatcher --scan", e.g. "/dev/sda" and input it to a variable?

It would also be nice if it could output the iPod type to a variable, e.g. "1st generation iPod Nano"

bluebrother:
redirect the output of ipodpatcher and cut everything you don't need -- perl will do, as various other ways like using sed / awk.

jackbnymbl:
I looked at the man pages for sed and awk, but I'm still blank (like I said, I'm kindof a n00b here). Maybe someone can give me some scripting help?

bluebrother:
try something like this:
./ipodpatcher -l 2>/dev/null | sed -e '/Ipod\ model/!d;s/^.*\:\ //'
./ipodpatcher -l 2>/dev/null | sed -e '/Ipod\ found/!d;s/^.*\///'

jackbnymbl:
Thanks for the help, but now I just can't figure out how to get the output into a variable. Also, is there any chance to make the first command not display "winpod"/"macpod" and the second one include /dev/? Thanks for your help though.
