I have a file which contain the line
...
...
"XXXXX"

I need to get the XXXXX part to be passed to a variable. How can i get it in a single command?

This should work:

VAR=$(grep "" file | awk -F " '{print $2}')

You might have to escape the " in the '-F' like:

VAR=$(grep "" file | awk -F \" '{print $2}')
