If I understand correctly you're having a problem parsing the return of "version.sh" which looks like the 15-line report. Try this:
Insert after "output=commands.....":

outlist=output.split('\n')
for i in outlist:
   if i.startswith("Version"): vers=i.split()[1]
   if i.startswith("Type"): type=i.split()[1]

Then make your "result=..." however you want to format vers and type.
