I think 8-bit also asked this Q...
How to get rxvt`s screen output while it`s running a CLI app.

Need last line of the rxvt screen output while it`s running vobcopy.
Sometimes the movie size is stated wrong ( how do they do that ? ).
But once vobcopy is running the movie size is stated correctly.
This will help automate the ripping process.

I don't have a dvd handy but
vobcopy -I <something.vob> |tail -1

Thanks technosaurus, I`ll give it a try and let you know...

The way to copy and paste in rxvt is known only to the guy who wrote rxvt and a few of his closest friends. You'd think it would be in rxvt's help menu, but nooooo.

I seem to remember once highlighting some text in rxvt and using something like ctrl-s to copy and ctrl-v to paste.

middle click to cut/paste in rxvt, but it sounded like sunburnt needed the text in a script... perhaps I misinterpreted

I copied this from a rxvt window, then pasted it into the forum compose window by simultaneously clicking the left- and right- click buttons after highlighting the text in rxvt, and clicking them again in the empty compose window:

Flash; You use the middle button ( scroll button ) to paste in rxvt and xterm.
BUT... The copy text HAS to be highlighted... Not copied...
You can paste into rxvt, from rxvt, and within rxvt this way.
Why it behaves this why is beyond comprehension.

technosaurus is correct though...
I need a script to be able to read the text being displayed in rxvt,
so in the usual Linux fashion redirecting to a file is probably needed.
technosaurus; I tried these: ( "-I" gives info )

if you could post the output you want to get at, it would be easier to help
just do

vobcopy ... >output 2>errors

There is an example in woo-ff for grepping the resolution using ffmpeg
