I need to assign the output of a command to a variable. The command I tried is:
grep UUID fstab | awk '/ext4/ {print $1}' | awk '{print substr($0,6)}'
I try this code to assign a variable:
UUID=$(grep UUID fstab | awk '/ext4/ {print $1}' | awk '{print substr($0,6)}')
However, it gives a syntax error. In addition I want it to work in a bash script.
The error is:
./upload.sh: line 12: syntax error near unexpected token ENE=$( grep UUID fstab | awk '/ext4/ {print $1}' | awk '{print substr($0,6)}'
)'
./upload.sh: line 12: ENE=$( grep UUID fstab | awk '/ext4/ {print $1}' | awk '{print substr($0,6)}'
)'
