  • ...wait, you want the exit status, not the result? Where do these commands come from? Are they in an array? Are they in subsequent lines of a script? Commented Jun 11, 2019 at 18:54

  • store_result() { declare -g -a results; local retval; "$@"; retval=$?; results+=( "$retval" ); return "$retval"; } -- thereafter, store_result ls; store_result ls -l /abc; store_result ls -l /def and your results array will have the desired values. Commented Jun 11, 2019 at 18:56

  • I have multiple commands which executes one after another like two statements are running independently like for example result1 : abc result2:0 result3:def result4:1 then expected output has to be abc : 0 and in next line def : 1 Commented Jun 12, 2019 at 14:11
