Script: put the output of a command into a variable.

[Shell_Maniac]

I want the output of command1 goes into variable A .
For instance, if command1 = echo -n "148" , I want put 148 into A .

I have done some tries, but these doesn't work:

echo -n "148" > A
echo -n "148" > A=
echo -n "148" | A
echo -n "148" | A=
echo -n "148" |  read A
....etc

Tks

To put the output of a command into a variable:

A=`command args`

or

A=$(command args)

To put a value into a variablele:

A=148
