Assigning jstest output to a variable from a shell script

[madmodder123]

I tried using this to assign the output of jstest to a variable, but it seems like jstest just opens and the script does not continue.

JSTEST_OUTPUT_2=$(jstest /dev/input/js1)

This is the command and the output I am trying to capture:

jstest /dev/input/js1

Driver version is 2.1.0.
Joystick (Twin USB Joystick) has 6 axes (X, Y, Z, Rz, Hat0X, Hat0Y)
and 12 buttons (Trigger, ThumbBtn, ThumbBtn2, TopBtn, TopBtn2, PinkieBtn, BaseBtn, BaseBtn2, BaseBtn3, BaseBtn4, BaseBtn5, BaseBtn6).
Testing ... (interrupt to exit)
Axes: 0: 0 1: 0 2: 0 3: 0 4: 0 5: 0 Buttons: 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:off 4:off 5:on 6:off 7:off 8:off 9:on 10:off 11:off

I also tried using grep (jstest --normal /dev/input/js1 | grep ".*") just to see what would show up and it would only return:
Driver version is 2.1.0.
Joystick (Twin USB Joystick) has 6 axes (X, Y, Z, Rz, Hat0X, Hat0Y)
and 12 buttons (Trigger, ThumbBtn, ThumbBtn2, TopBtn, TopBtn2, PinkieBtn, BaseBtn, BaseBtn2, BaseBtn3, BaseBtn4, BaseBtn5, BaseBtn6).
Testing ... (interrupt to exit)

I am not sure why it wouldnt capture the button/stick data (maybe because it's values are constantly being updated?)

I dont care about the other information i just want this:
Axes: 0: 0 1: 0 2: 0 3: 0 4: 0 5: 0 Buttons: 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:off 4:off 5:on 6:off 7:off 8:off 9:on 10:off 11:off

I will keep searching the internet for an answer and I will update this post if I find one.

Thanks guys!
