Put the output from a dialog box into a bash variable:

termux-dialog outputs data in json format so we need to parse that. One way is to use jq which needs to be installed: apt install jq -y

Then because we're going to pipe the output into jq we'll need to enclose everything in double quotes before assiging to a variable. This is is a good example:

myvariable="$(termux-dialog -t "Please enter some text" | jq '.text' -r)"

To test this has worked:

echo "$myvariable"

And you should see what you had entered has been assigned to "myvariable"
