Recover result of command in a variable









For specific reason, it is necessary to recover the result of a command (or back code) in variable to exploit the script later.

Below are different examples:

Syntax 

var = $ (command)

Note: Please note that the old method using reverse quotes (`command`) is however forbidden and the examples presented here are better.


Examples
  • Recovery of standard out
    • stdout only
      • var=$(command)
    • stdout and stderr
      • var=$(command 2>&1)
  • Recovery back code ($?)
    • back code only
      • command
      • var=$?
    • Both
      • var=$ (command)
      • var=$?
