how to assign the commands like ls ,find ,rm to variable in linux.

i need to delete the log files automatically every day using crontab.

hi,
thanks for reply.we got the following errors

-bash: .: -n: invalid option
.: usage: . filename [arguments]
[root@ebs httpd]#

could not understand what are you trying to do there.
If you have assign the result of a command to a variable please use the format specified by ghostdog74, put the whole command in the brackets, preceded by a $.
