Var=$(echo "$2" | sed -e 's/,/: chararray /g' | sed -e 's/$/: chararray/')
echo "$Var"

OR

Var=`echo "$2" | sed -e 's/,/: chararray /g' | sed -e 's/$/: chararray/'`
echo "$Var"

Use either $(…) or perhaps `…` backtick notation. However, the backtick notation is deprecated and should be avoided. Also, check the comments by mmgross, Etan Reisner and svlasov to your question. They are all correct.
