How to set dynamically a variable

Hi

Huh, here a small affair.

I've the command:
grep -i OHOME= $(find /su01 -name attachHome.sh | grep -v Templates)

This return a result like this:
OHOME=/su01/app/oracle/product/10.1.2

How to execute the result. In fact I'd like to set OHOME with /su01/app/oracle/product/10.1.2

If i do something like that:
$(grep -i OHOME= $(find /su01 -name attachHome.sh | grep -v Templates))
I've the error
ksh: OHOME=/su01/app/oracle/product/10.1.2: not found.

How to to this ?

Bests Regards
Den

from what I can see here, something like:

a=$(grep -i OHOME= $(find /su01 -name attachHome.sh | grep -v Templates))
eval $a
$OHOME

might be close
