hi, I want to write a shell script which will execute some commnds in the script and create a resulted variable with all the results. e.g. ----------------- #!/bin/bash year = 'date +%Y' month = 'date +%M'
echo $year echo $month
MY = $year_$month echo MY
actually i expected $year to give "2003" It's not working ...:(
