Copy output string to variable after multiple pipes

Im trying to store the output of a set of commands to a variable in a shell script. The obvious backticks and eval are failing. Could someone help me out with this.

I want to store the output of 

head -"$errno" tmptmptmp2 | tail -1 | sed 's/,//'

into a variable.

The command works fine BTW.

You can do:

var=$(head -"$errno" tmptmptmp2 | tail -1 | sed 's/,//')
