Issue
Environment:
Linux Mint, Cinnamon desktop manager, with multiple workspaces=virtual desktops, e.g. 4.
Bash script
What is known:
How to determine the number of workspaces:
wmctrl -d | wc -l
What I need:
Get the number of virtual desktops the bash script is running on with a pure bash as var (like with grep, not awk or similar) and echo the var.
Solution
Based on answer of KamilCuk, its possible to output on follow way the line which is including the number of the active desktop:
nr_of_active_desktop=activedesktop=$(wmctrl -d | grep "*" | rev | cut -d ' ' -f1)
echo $nr_of_active_desktop
