unix - Executing sql statement and storing value in variable -

I have a shell script trying to execute a simple SQL statement and storing it in a single variable is. But I am unable to do this. I am using Sigwin and I intend to use it in Unix. See script below

  "execute a script" echo Id = (sqlplus cimnewuser / cimnewuser @ cimnew identification id from the list where tablename = 'mCT_35618'; exit) "$ var" code>  
 This is giving me the error I want to manipulate SQL in SQL New am  
 Thank you in advance!   
 
 
 You are not forgeting  $ .  
 
  var = $ (sqlplus cimnewuser / cimnewuser @ from the cimnew list in the list, where tablename = optionally, you can use brackets:  
 < Code> var = 'sqlplus ... `
