/dev/hdc1 24406832 666000 23740832 3% /mnt/k

now i just want to store "/mnt/k" in a variable of shell script.or in a file.i dont want to use find command.

str="/dev/hdc1 24406832 666000 23740832 3% /mnt/k"
var=`echo $str | awk '{print $6}'`

The result is in the variable $var.

var=`df | awk '{print $NF}'`

If you want to do it with a file , then

awk '{print $NF}' filename
