Capture grep output to a variable which includes another variable

[kdefilip2]

Hi Scidam,

Thanks for all your help. The only way I could get this working was with the following:

p = Popen(["grep", "-wl", what, where], stdout=True, stderr=True)
p.communicate()[0]

It now returns proper grep output, i.e., when found it returns the filename, when not found, it returns nothing.

I now need to find a way to compare the result:
IF Found
do a bunch of other stuff
ELSE
Exit

But I guess that will be for another post.

Thanks again.
