Please note how I needed to add the "=" sign to the regex
Code:
$ vars=$(echo "Global minimum E = 391.86 found 10 times." | perl -ane 'foreach my $rec (@F) {print "$rec\n" if "$rec" !~ m/[A-Za-z=]/;}')
$ y=1; for x in $vars; do eval var$y=$x; y=$(($y+1)); done
$ echo $var1 $var2
391.86 10
$

HTH

Vishwaga,
I guess that's no option, since the number of found numbers may vary.
