assign the value to a variable and you can retreive by adding '$' at the begining of the variable name like the example below. incase, if you want to make it accessible from different processes then you can export the variable like the 2nd example.

Code:
Example 1: Variable=XXXXX
echo $Variable
Example 2:export Variable=XXXXX
echo $Variable
