[SOLVED]Question about script

I want to write a shell script contains python one.
So,the result of python one is flv file.
I want the path of this is copied into a enviroment variable that i have to pass as a flag argument of another program (to convert into mp3).

To individuate the result of python script I thought to use (in PWD)

Code:
ls | grep -E '^.*mp3$'
But my question is: How can I copy this result into enviroment variable?

I hope to b clear.
Thanks!!

Code:
VAR=$(ls | grep -E '^.*mp3$')
Where VAR is the name of the variable you want to set e.g.

Code:
MP3LIST=$(ls | grep -E '^.*mp3$')

You can get the same results w/
Code:
ls *mp3
and then you won't need the grep.

Actually, you don't even need the ls. Just:

Code:
MP3LIST=*mp3
