redirect command output to variable

Hi,

I am looking for a way to redirect the result from a command into a variable.
This is the scenario.

Using the find command I will be getting multiple records/lines back.
Here is the command I am using:

find /”path”/ -name nohup.out –print

This now is giving me the paths and file names back as a record/line.
Ex.
/”path1”/ nohup.out
/”path2”/ nohup.out
/”path3”/ nohup.out

I would like to pass these records/lines into a variable line for line and then use the variable line for line in another command echo.

The result would be that I will echo info into the nohup.out files.

Please will you assist me with this?

Thank you for your assistance.

Hugo
