Is there a way to show the idle current drain using a .py or .sh script?

I found that QmBattery has an attribute 'getBatteryCurrent', but I don't know the syntax to extract this attribute in a python script.
Could someone give me an idea?
Thanks

Open terminal and run:
Close the terminal and push the power button to idle the phone. Wait for 20 seconds. Then activate the phone and open terminal again to read the results:
Results are in mAh.
Code:
$ (sleep 20 && bmestat | grep "battery current" > idle_current.txt &)
Code:
$ cat idle_current.txt

Thanks ladoga. This gives the result I need, but I would like it in a script without saving the result in a file.
I tried:
(bmestat | grep "battery current")
This gave me:
battery current: -213
I had the phone charging at the time. How do I now extract just the result (-213)?
Thanks

This now got me what I needed.
Now, I need to put this into a script. Do I start with this?
eco -n "(bmestat | grep "battery current") | awk '{print $3}' "
It's hard to do this on the phone. I create the file on the pc and copy it to the phone. Very hard to debug.
I need the script to be fairly right.
Thanks

I tried:
#!/bin/sh
current = ((bmestat | grep "battery current") | awk '{print $3}' )
echo -n $current
I get a syntax error: unexpected "("
Could someone please help with this script?
Thanks

Maybe this line:
current = ((bmestat | grep "battery current") | awk '{print $3}' )
is too complicated for someone like me, who knows very little about sh or python.
But maybe split the job up into 3 smaller pieces would be easier:
#!/bin/sh
#Place the output of bmestat into string bmestring
bmestring = bmestat
#Extract the 'battery current' element out of the string in bmestring
element = ($bmestring | grep "battery current")
#Extract the numeric value out of element
current = ($element | awk '{prit $3}')
echo -n $current
Now you can see my lack of knowledge.
Maybe it would be easier in python.
Can someone please help put me out of my misery with this?
Thanks
