How do I assign the result of eval to variable in bash script?

Question

I have a bash script that returns a list, which is what I want, but I need to put the results in a variable so I can operate on them one at a time in a for loop.

#!/bin/bash
processID="ps aux | grep `date +"%b"` | gawk '{print \$2}'"

eval $processID

How do I assign the result of eval to a variable? Thanks

Answer 1

pid=$( ps aux | grep `date +"%b"` | awk '{print $2}' )
