Hi, like this, I'd say:
newuidnr=$( ldapsearch -x -b 'dc=beasty,dc=netlab,dc=albury,dc=tafe' '(objectclass=posixAccount)' uidnumber | awk '/uidNumber/&&$2>t{t=$2}END{print t+1}')
you can leave out...

Or all in one go:
var=$(ldapsearch -x '(dn:=dc)' dc | awk -F'[=.,<>]' '/dc=/{print $3"."$5"."$7"."$9}')

var=$(echo "dc=james,dc=morey,dc=home,dc=com" | sed 's/dc=//g' | sed 's/,/./g')OR
var=$(ldapsearch -x '(dn:=dc)' dc|grep dc= | awk -F'[<>]' '{print $2}' | sed 's/dc=//g' | sed 's/,/./g')

Try:
var=$(ldapsearch -x '(dn:=dc)' dc|grep dc= | awk -F'[<>]' '{print $2}')
or
var=$(ldapsearch -x '(dn:=dc)' dc | awk -F'[<>]' '/dc=/{print $2}')

You can use var=$(...) to put the output of a (series of) command(s) into a variable.
