Hi, sorry for the offtopic, but maybe somebody can help me here. I've the following variable: [code] # echo $BINMAKE `if [ -x /usr/obj/usr/src/make.i386/make ]; then echo /usr/obj/usr/src/make.i386/make; else echo make; fi` -m /usr/src/share/mk # [/code] It's a string wich includes a commmand. How can I get the subcommand replaced by its output? I'd like to have a second variable like: [code] # echo $newvariable make -m /usr/src/share/mk # [code] Thanks a lot.
