Set specific part in command output into variable
I am trying unsuccessfully to set into a variable a specific part of command output:
The command output will be as:
line 1: <varied>
line 2: 2 options:
option 1:
Set view: ** NONE **
or
option 2:
Set view: <different_name_of_views_always_without_spaces>

and I would like to get into the variable either the ** NONE ** or the name of the view (<different_name_of_views_always_without_spaces> in option 2).

What is the syntax to find that "field" into my variable?

Thanks a lot

xzless

XZLESS(1)							     XZ Utils								 XZLESS(1)

NAME

       xzless, lzless - view xz or lzma compressed (text) files

SYNOPSIS

       xzless [file...]
       lzless [file...]

DESCRIPTION

       xzless  is  a  filter  that  displays text from compressed files to a terminal.	It works on files compressed with xz(1) or lzma(1).  If no
       files are given, xzless reads from standard input.

       xzless uses less(1) to present its output.  Unlike xzmore, its choice of pager cannot be altered by setting an environment variable.   Com-
       mands are based on both more(1) and vi(1) and allow back and forth movement and searching.  See the less(1) manual for more information.

       The command named lzless is provided for backward compatibility with LZMA Utils.

ENVIRONMENT

       LESSMETACHARS
	      A list of characters special to the shell.  Set by xzless unless it is already set in the environment.

       LESSOPEN
	      Set to a command line to invoke the xz(1) decompressor for preprocessing the input files to less(1).

SEE ALSO

       less(1), xz(1), xzmore(1), zless(1)
