Shell script command problem
 
Hello everyone.. Just trying to write a shell script to send automated email of my gaming server log files every so often but i got stuck here

Code:
a=`ls ~/management/logs/DoNotStarveTogether | grep -c "chat_log"`
this does not assign the integer value to variable a.

but if i write it as

Code:
ls ~/management/logs/DoNotStarveTogether | grep -c "chat_log"
it prints out the value. Any help would be appreciated.
