Hi there ! Consider the following commands: $ var1=`uname -sr` $ echo $var1 Darwin 24.0.0 $ read var2 <<< `uname -sr` $ echo $var2 Darwin 24.0.0 $ uname -sr | read var3 $ echo $var3 $ uname -sr | read -p var3 $ echo $var3 $ While the first two ones behave like expected, I wonder why the latter ones fail. What's the difference behind the scenes? How can I do such an assignment at the end of a command instead of the beginning? Any ideas? TIA fw
