How To Assign Output of a Linux Command to a Variable
============================================================
When you run a command, it produces some kind of output: either the result of a program is suppose to produce or status/error messages of the program execution details. Sometimes, you may want to store the output of a command in a variable to be used in a later operation.
In this post, we will review the different ways of assigning the output of a shell command to a variable, specifically useful for shell scripting purpose.
To store the output of a command in a variable, you can use the shell command substitution feature in the forms below:
```
variable_name=$(command)
variable_name=$(command [option ...] arg1 arg2 ...)
OR
variable_name='command'
variable_name='command [option ...] arg1 arg2 ...'
```
Below are a few examples of using command substitution.
In this first example, we will store the value of `who` (which shows who is logged on the system) command in the variable `CURRENT_USERS` user:
```
$ CURRENT_USERS=$(who)
```
Then we can use the variable in a sentence displayed using the [echo command][1] like so:
```
$ echo -e "The following users are logged on the system:\n\n $CURRENT_USERS"
```
In the command above: the flag `-e` means interpret any escape sequences ( such as `\n` for newline) used. To avoid wasting time as well as memory, simply perform the command substitution within the [echo command][2] as follows:
```
$ echo -e "The following users are logged on the system:\n\n $(who)"
```

Next, to demonstrate the concept using the second form; we can store the total number of files in the current working directory in a variable called `FILES` and echo it later as follows:
```
$ FILES=`sudo find . -type f -print | wc -l`
$ echo "There are $FILES in the current working directory."
```

如何将 Linux 命令的输出赋值给变量
==================================
每当你运行一个命令,它都出在屏幕上输出一些内容:该命令的期望结果或者该命令执行细节的状态/错误消息。有些时候,你可能想要将某个命令的输出内容存储在一个变量中,以待在后续操作中取出来使用。
本文将介绍将 shell 命令赋值给变量的不同方法,这对于 shell 脚本编程是特别有用的。
你可以使用如下的 shell 命令置换特性来将命令的输出存储到变量中:
```
变量名=$(命令)
变量名=$(命令 [命令选项 ...] 参数1 参数2 ...)
或者:
变量名='命令'
变量名='命令 [命令选项 ...] 参数1 参数2 ...'
```
以下是使用命令置换特性的示例:
本例,我们将 `who` (显示当前登录系统的用户) 的输出值存储到 `CURRENT_USERS` 变量中:
```
$ CURRENT_USERS=$(who)
```
然后,我们可以使用 [echo 命令][1] 来使用上述变量,如下:
```
$ echo -e "以下为登录到系统中的用户:\n\n $CURRENT_USERS"
```
上面的命令中:`-e` 标记表示解释所有的转义序列 (如 `\n` 为换行)。为节约时间和内存,通常在 [echo 命令][2] 中使用命令置换特性,如下:
```
$ echo -e "以下为登录到系统中的用户:\n\n $(who)"
```

接下来,为了演示刚刚的第二种形式,我们以把当前工作目录下文件数存储到变量 `FILES` 为了,然后使用 echo 来输出,如下:
```
$ FILES=`sudo find . -type f -print | wc -l`
$ echo "当前目录有 $FILES 个文件。"
```

至此,文毕。我们展示了将 shell 命令的输出赋值给变量的方法。你可以在下边的评论反馈区留下你的想法。
