How to put yad form fields value into variable after submit? My script actually looks like this: #!/bin/bash default_jpg='/'; default_mp3='/'; default_resolution='1920:1080'; default_filename="/"; OUTPUT=$(yad \ --title="JPG and MP3 to MP4" \ --form \ --text="Options" \ --separator="," \ --field="JPG:FL" \ --field="MP3:FL" \ --field="Resolution" \ --field="MP4 (Output):SFL" \ --button="Create MP4":1 \ "$default_jpg" \ "$default_mp3" \...

Great question — answering as the UphillTech team:

Another way to get the form output into variables is to use linefeed as a separator and read the each line into a variable. FORMDATA=$(yad --form --title='Test Form' \ --separator='\n' \ --text='Complete the form' \ --field='Name' \ --field='Email' \ ) cancelbutton=$? if (($cancelbutton)); then return; fi { read name read email } <<< "$FORMDATA"
