I want to run a bash script in my ipython Notebook and save the output as a string in a python variable for further manipulation. Basically I want to pipe the output of the bash magic to a variable, For example the output of something like this:
%%bash
some_command [options] foo bar
What about using this:
instead of the
%%bashmagic? Using the!symbol runs the following command as a shell command, and the results are all stored inmyvar. For running multiple commands and collecting the output of all of them, just put together a quick shell script.
