Why not blkid %s -o value --match-tag TYPE ? Or, better still, lsblk %s -n -o FSTYPE It's not easy to answer your question about fixing the line you have, because the output you are getting it not consistent with what you are showing. (And I can't find the original post that presumably has Python code I could run myself.) The format I get with -o export is: DEVNAME=/dev/sda1 UUID=2726bf5f-2655-4986-815d-e4532374f218 TYPE=ext3 PARTUUID=000453d3-01 for which "blkid %s -o export | grep TYPE | cut -c6-" would work. Alternatively I get the result you want from "blkid %s -o export | grep TYPE | cut -d= -f2" Note that "TYPE" and "=" don't really need to be quoted at all. Someone suggested sed, and that too can be used like this: blkid %s -o export | sed -ne '/TYPE=/s///p' -- Ben. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
