I need to save an output of a command in a variable and then to use it. Currently.

newExtend= $(awk 'NR=='$cont $directy) 
echo $newExtend

Try:

newExtend = `awk 'NR==' $count $directory`

Those are backticks.

  • Those spaces around the equals sign are a syntax error, and the Awk command is no longer valid, either. – tripleee Oct 03 '16 at 12:36
