...update xrandr|grep * will "work" if the CWD is empty.

@JonathanAllan No, it wouldn't. An unescaped * is a glob that the shell expands to all files in the CWD.

| May 2, 2017 at 13:37 | comment | added | Jonathan Allan | Ah yes it would, not sure what the OP wants in such a scenario though! | |
| May 2, 2017 at 13:36 | comment | added | manatwork | Ah, you mean to pick the resolution from the list by the “*” mark? Thought to that possibility, but I am not sure whether would work with multiple displays connected. As I remember, that would list each connected display's current resolution. | |

Maybe xrandr|grep *|cut -d' ' -f1? (using the matching line from your paste @TIO)

Sure. But for now the my grep and sed attempts to parse xrandr's output (pastebin.com/uTVcjWCq) were longer.

I have no bash with a display, would xrandr|grep * work?
