[Question #159974]: Grabbing command output

 

New question #159974 on Sikuli:
https://answers.launchpad.net/sikuli/+question/159974

What's the best way to grab some ascii output from a linux cli command such as:

date +%H
date +%M

which would be the hour and minute respectively (00 and 45 near the time of posting)  

I tried this: 

starthour = openApp("date +%H")
switchApp("gedit")
sleep(1)
print starthour

the logs seem to hint that nothing is done:

[log] App.open date +%H(0) [log] openApp: date +%H 
[log] App.focus gedit(0) #0 [log] switchApp: gedit 
0 


TIA,

Mike
