Assigning output of grep to variable

[Fred Victa]

How would I assign the output of the following grep statements to different variables?

grep -i '550|552|553' ftp.log

grep -i 'No such file' ftp.log

You say 'variables'. What language are we talking here?

This is for a UNIX shell script.

You could have easily found this with a quick search on the internet.

But here goes anyway:

I have a file called 'somefile':
CodeRanch is the greatest place on the Internet
and a Shell script called 'do-grep.sh':
#!/bin/sh grepresult=`grep -i great somefile` echo $grepresult (Note: Those are backticks, not single quotes.)

Results in:
$ sh do-grep.sh CodeRanch is the greatest $
