frmaddr=$(echo $frmdata | awk 'BEGIN {FS="|" } { print $1 }')

Answer 3

can you explain a little about it? and about that yad command you used

Answer 4

oh and Im going to code it myself so I'd rather be more happy with some explanations and helpful answers instead of code and only code, but thanks anyway

Answer 5

umm and I want something in that form. I ask the user to input username and password and I want the form to have a button that says 'remember me' so that if the user checks this button I cache his data and the next time he opens the app I put that as the default value.

I mean yad shows a dialog box but I want a window with a text form and a checkbox and after pressing ok it will not close, just change to a new page that looks like a homepage, with a logout button for example. I don't know if I can implement such a thing with a dialog command
