Determine Drupal versio using Drush

[kasperg]

The Drupal version can be retrieved using drush statusinstead of using a property.

If you need to do it in bash, you can use:

drush st | grep -i "Drupal version" | cut -c 27-

or this:

drush st | grep -i "Drupal version" | sed 's/ Drupal version        :  //'

or this:

drush st | grep -i "Drupal version" | awk -F ":" '{print $2}'

or this (untested but working in bash)

<drush command="status" returnProperty="status" returnGlue="${line.separator}"/>
<exec command="echo ${${status}: -4}" returnProperty="drupal.version"/>

Now using phing:

 <drush command="status" returnProperty="status" returnGlue="${line.separator}"/>
 <exec command='echo "${status}" | grep -i "Drupal version" | cut -c 27-' returnProperty="drupal.version"/>

If I have time, I'll try to provide a patch.
