store awk output in variable
<p>I ignore what is the problem with this code ?</p>

<pre class="lang-html prettyprint-override"><code>#! /bin/bash
File1=$1
for (( j=1; j&lt;=3; j++ ))
{
    output=$(`awk -F; 'NR=='$j'{print $3}' "${File1}"`)
    echo ${output}
}
</code></pre>



<p>File1 looks like this :</p>

<pre class="lang-html prettyprint-override"><code>Char1;2;3;89
char2;9;6;66
char5;3;77;8
</code></pre>



<p>I want to extract on every line looped the field 3 </p>

<p>so the result will be </p>

<pre class="lang-html prettyprint-override"><code>3
6
7
</code></pre>
