Re: [edk2-devel] Logical operator function in shell environment

["Tiger Liu(BJ-RD)" <tigerliu@zhaoxin.com>]

Hi, Ray:
Thanks for your reply!

I looked it up in shell spec, not find logical operator functions supported.

I found shell supported redirect output to an environment variable.
But I could not succeed in my experiment.
For example:
1. I create a environment variable "testvar" with set command
2. Then, I execute "date > testvar", but failed.


Thanks

I don't know whether Shell supports such capability. Can you check the Shell spec?
It's also possible that Spec supports such capability but implementation doesn't.
Then you are welcome to implement that in ShellPkg.
