I have the following command:

egrep -e "\\\\" pom.xml | egrep -v -e "\\\\$"

I want to assign it to a variable so that I can echo it later in this code:

egrep -e "\\\\" pom.xml | egrep -v -e "\\\\$"  &> /dev/null
if [ $? == 0 ]; then
   echo "Errors in POM were found"
   echo "line matches (result of the command)"
fi

  • Be aware that, depending on your shell and the version thereof, the return value of the pipeline could be the first command or the last command. You could probably just stick a period at the end of your pattern in the first grep and have the same result. Commented Apr 30, 2014 at 19:05
