Eval command is throwing logs on console-How to suppress it?

In a for loop i used eval statement. But it is throwing logs on console for non matching patterns. I tried redirecting the eval cmd o/p to null as below.But its not working.

for loop .. do .. temp=eval "$tempVal" >/dev/null 2>&1 .. done

Any other way to handle this? Any help would be really appreciated.

You seem to be attempting redirection after assigning eval output to a variable. You need to say:

temp=`eval "$tempVal" 2>/dev/null`

instead. Moreover, consider using $(...) instead of backticks:

temp=$(eval "$tempVal" 2>/dev/null)
