Reusing output from last command in Bash
Is the output of a Bash command stored in any register? E.g. something similar to $? capturing the output instead of the exit status.
I could assign the output to a variable with:
output=$(command)
but that's more typing...
Answer
You can use $(!!)
to recompute (not re-use) the output of the last command.
The !! on its own executes the last command.
$ echo pierre
pierre
$ echo my name is $(!!)
echo my name is $(echo pierre)
my name is pierre
