I have the output of hcitool scan, now I want to 'cut' out each line with linefeed delimiters, I have tried actually 'embedding" the lf(return) chr in the script, this does not return what I am looking for and if I use "tab" which is what separates the output from the 2nd line down, again doesnt return what I expect, Anyone have an idea how I just return the mac address with the name? BTW I am dumping this into a select box using opie-sh. Perhaps searching a wildcard pattern with grep is a better approach? if so how? Any ideas greatly appreciated.
