Hi guys!

I have just started with shell programming!!

I am having pronblem with variable subsitutuion.
when i do
egrep "*[0-9]" marks
this will give me the pattern match.
but how can i catch the output of that result in a variable.
if i say

result = egrep "*[0-9]" marks

it gives me syntax error

please anybody can help me?

thanks
