Oh ! You are right ! I didn't realised the format need brackets ! thank you
very much.
Do you mind explaining me why bracket are needed ?
For future user with same issue, this is the final script to get the
correct output when muted and when volume is changed
#!/bin/bash
mute=$(pactl list sinks | grep "Description: WH-1000XM3" -A 6 | grep Mute |
grep "yes")
volume=$(pactl list sinks | grep "Description: WH-1000XM3" -A 6 | grep % |
cut -d " " -f 6)
if [ -z $mute]
then
echo "[M]"
else
echo "[$volume]"
fi
exit 0
