Bash capturing output of awk into array
Add additional parentheses, like this:
myarr=($(ps -u kdride | awk '{ print $1 }'))
# Now access elements of an array (change "1" to whatever you want)
echo ${myarr[1]}
# Or loop through every element in the array
for i in "${myarr[@]}"
do
:
echo $i
done

— Arrays.
Use Bash's builtin mapfile (or its synonym readarray
)
mapfile -t -s 1 myarr < <(ps -u myusername | awk '{print $1}')
At least in GNU/Linux you can format output of ps
, so no need for awk
and -s 1
mapfile -t myarr < <(ps -u myusername -o pid=)
