Hi,

this is probably a very stupid question; in a bash script, given the output of, for instance;

awk '{print $7}' temp

it gives 0.54546

I would like to give this to a variable, so I tried:

read ENE <<< $(awk '{print $7}' temp)

but I get

Syntax error: redirection unexpected

Could you tell me why, and what is the easiest way to do this assignment?

Thanks
