That's great thanks a lot

Thanks, sorry to be a pain but can you explain the string as well?

Thanks I appreciate the help, this is my first experience with linux, could you explain the code you posted? I have Java and python experience, I see that you are piping the output of fast-gpio to sed, but idk what sed or the funtion after is

I'm trying to get a usable output (boolean) from "fast-gpio read", but it only gives output of the form > Read GPIOxx: 1. is there an easy way to get a boolean from this?
