## To assign the output of a command, use var=$(cmd) .
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Problematic code:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```sh
|
||||||
|
var=grep -c pattern file
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Correct code:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```sh
|
||||||
|
var=$(grep -c pattern file)
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
### Rationale:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
To assign the output of a command to a variable, use `$(command substitution)`. Just typing a command after the `=` sign does not work.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Exceptions:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
None.
