[Cocoadialog-users] bash script example for inputbox or standard-inputbox?

[Brad S. <sc...@ya...>]

I haven't been able to find anything in this mailing list, the 
documentation, or on the web about setting variables in a shell script 
through user input.

I'd like to be able to take user input via an inputbox or 
standard-inputbox in a shell script and set a variable.  Can anyone 
explain to me how to do this?

I was able to use the Perl examples for a standard-inputbox and 
inputbox to set a variable, but here's my problem.  The variable is 
set, but the first line of the variable has the number of the button 
that was pressed and then the input data (the data I really care about) 
  is stuck on the second line of the variable.  How do I set the 
variable so that just the input data is contained?  Does the shell have 
anyway to split data up, like Perl does?  Maybe I need to use pipes 
like a previous poster mentioned...  Maybe I need to look at more shell 
examples on the web?

Thanks!

Brad
