Title: How to extract a specific "getmininginfo" value to use in a function ?
Post by: unick on August 14, 2013, 07:43:10 PM
Hi,

I am trying to figure out a way to extract the values in the output of getmininginfo in a shell script.

let's say I want to get block and difficulty values.  If it were in PHP I would use something like array[key].  But I am not sure how to do this with the output of getmininginfo.  Any one has a clue or could point me in the right direction?

Thanks in advance!

The output is "encoded"(more like formatted) with JSON, look it up. PHP has JSON support via json_encode/json_decode.
