Never ever do this. You need to use --status-fd to get well defined strings. For example $ gpg --verify --status-fd 1 x.msg 2>/dev/null \ | awk '$1=="[GNUPG:]" && $2=="VALIDSIG" {print $3}' prints the fingerprint of the signing iff the signature is valid. Take care that you know what is actually verified. The best way to accomplish this is to use detached signatures. Anyway, using gpgv is in most cases much more robust (see my other mail).
