>> append formatting
Code:
  var=$(find /etc/*)
        tput smso
        ls -l | echo $var >> log

is another way of doing it

You could try this:
Code:
find /etc/ >> log

If you do it your original way, you need to add quotes so all the files get assigned to the variable:
Code:
var="$(find /etc/)"

Also, I don't think there is anything to be achieved by piping anything into the echo command.
