assigning a variable

hi all,
in ksh, how do i assign the output of a find command to a variable, e.g

am trying something like this :

totalNoFiles=$(print find ./ -name "SystemOut*.log");

but when i echo $totalNoFiles it displays

find ./ -name "SystemOut*.log"

instead of the total number of files found.

any suggestions??

thanks in advance
