I'm trying to obtain the sound output monitor's name (as a string using
the Shell command) for later use in an Exec command (calling ffmpeg).
Running the appropriate command in a Terminal gives:
john@JohnDesktop:~$ pactl list | grep -A2 '^Source #' | grep 'Name:
.*\.monitor$' | awk '{print $NF}' | tail -n1
alsa_output.pci-0000_00_1b.0.analog-stereo.monitor
I have Gambas code for opening FMain form as:
Dim sSoundMonitorExtractor As String
Me.Center()
sSoundMonitorExtractor = Shell$("pactl list | grep -A2 '^Source #' |
grep 'Name: .*\\.monitor$' | awk '{print $NF}' | tail -n1")
Shell sSoundMonitorExtractor To sSoundMonitor
Print "Sound Monitor = " & sSoundMonitor
I have 2 backslashes in the Shell$'s string as otherwise the compiler
objects. When I run the Gambas executable, the Console displays:
Sound Monitor =
I.e. sSoundMonitor is not set. What am I doing wrong?
Regards,
John
