JustALol,
I think you are trying to over work this and have confused it trying to make it neat. Would this do?:-
What is the intention with this? If you are looking to store the value long term and then check for unauthorised changes, then md5sum allows you to read a file containing the hashes and compare them:-
Does that work with what you are really intending to do?

md5sum
MD5SUM(1) User Commands MD5SUM(1)NAME
md5sum - compute and check MD5 message digest
SYNOPSIS
md5sum [OPTION]... [FILE]...
DESCRIPTION
Print or check MD5 (128-bit) checksums. With no FILE, or when FILE is -, read standard input.
-b, --binary
read in binary mode
-c, --check
read MD5 sums from the FILEs and check them
-t, --text
read in text mode (default)
The following three options are useful only when verifying checksums:
--quiet
don't print OK for each successfully verified file
--status
don't output anything, status code shows success
-w, --warn
warn about improperly formatted checksum lines
--help display this help and exit
--version
output version information and exit
The sums are computed as described in RFC 1321. When checking, the input should be a former output of this program. The default mode is
to print a line with checksum, a character indicating type (`*' for binary, ` ' for text), and name for each FILE.
