Directing cat or grep command in variable

Hi,

I still have the problem with directing information from cat or grep to a variable.

For instance:
Code:
XMSG "$(date +%Y_%m_%d)_error_report.txt" "$(cat "$(date +%Y_%m_%d)_error_report.txt")" &

Works! The text received by cat is directed to my function.

If it is written like this, my variable var is empty
Code:
var=$(cat "$(date +%Y_%m_%d)_error_report.txt")

Same effect here:
Code:
var=$(grep "sdhdjhf" text.txt)

Can anybody please explain why the redirection does not work?
