Fredrik,
My apology for any confusion created.
I read all the replies. In fact I'm thankful to you all guys who are
responding so quickly to all questions.
I also add the letter 'v' same as you suggested. However, I'm looking
to store this into some variable ( that variable could be be a string,
tuple or anything, Im not sure which is the suited one) so that I can
access it in some other module that will then display this version
information in a Label Widet in GUI.
So, what is the best way to store 'v1.2.3.4' in a variable? And, what
type of variable is most suited (so as able to be used in other module
probably, as string there)?
Thanks,
Rajat
