See my initial response with colored double-quotes.
I asked about the bash version because rogerben said he got an error, which doesn't happen to me with the same code
To assign the value to a variable I use the backtick and it works. Taking up your code
Code:
a=`awk '$2=="jij" {print $3}' testfile`
echo "$a"

I know, I just replaced the grep of the rogerben code with cat
