Operating Systems Linux SuSE Need to assign value to a variable and export it at the same time Post 302727819 by RomitaaChawla@1 on Wednesday 7th of November 2012 01:37:25 AM

Need to assign value to a variable and export it at the same time

I have a file a.xml contaning:

<customerId>999</customerId>
<aaa>09876</aaa>

Now I want to extract the value '999' and save it in a variable and then export the variable. Something like the below:

export CUSTOMER_ID=cat a.xml |grep customerId |awk -F ">" '{print $2}' |awk -F "<" '{print $1}'

Whereas
cat a.xml |grep customerId |awk -F ">" '{print $2}' |awk -F "<" '{print $1}' is giving the expected result i.e. 999

But when I want to save it in a variable, it is not working Smilie. Please help me urgently. My Operating System is SUSE Linux.
