Hi Experts, First of all i want thank all and i am glad to be a part this forum. Thanks for the very quick response. My query is slightly different [not echoing a line , a command instead], sorry i posted slightly different. my requirement is like below. When i give a command like below , 
 sysname =`snmpwalk.pl -c $string -t 100                              
+                                                           -r 2  $ipa
+ddress sysName |awk '{print $NF}'

I get a output like below. 
sysName.0 : OCTET STRING- (ascii): USWLS-P-TR03-C4510RE-1.adagnet.net

in that i want last word that is "USWLS-P-TR03-C4510RE-1.adagnet.net" to be assigned to a variable.
