I know how to use it, I just can't find a reference that tells me I can use it like that. I've checked the man pages and info coreutils/printf invocation, but I can't find a reference to the `-v` option anywhere.
What say the gurus?
It is not the printf from coreutils, it is the bash builtin. So 'man bashbuiltins' gives you everything you need to know.
It's on the bash man page as: printf [-v var] format [arguments] Write the formatted arguments to the standard output under the control of the format. The -v option causes the output to be assigned to the variable var rather than being printed to the standard output. --- Is that what you mean? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
