[BangPypers] Redirection of standard output to a variable

[KartheeK]

Hi Rishabh,

My script needs to fetch some critical config files from 200+ servers, process them and put them back in place. I need to make sure at each step that I am doing the right thing.
So, I though i would make sure to see "100%"  each time I download a config file and then only proceed further to process it.

It seems like what you want to do is a bit complicated -

Maybe if you can explain why you need the exact string that scp
outputs, somebody can suggest alternatives.

Best,

R
