How can I store the output of an awk command as a bash script variable? [duplicate]
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ margin-bottom:0;
}
This question already has an answer here:
How do I assign the output of a command to a variable?
1 answer
When operating in the linux terminal I can enter the following: command
'''
awk 'FNR==1 {print$5}' SNextractedstats.txt
'''
To display the value in the first row and fifth column of a text file.
I would like to be able to save this value as a variable in a bash script to be able to do sums and call using Echo, how would I go about doing this?
Thank you
