Using grep command in makefile?

I'm trying to use this command in (#!/bin/bash) makefile:

grep 'svseed' tc_1/tc1.log | awk '{print $7}'

If I use this command in my terminal its working fine. But if i use it in makefile its not printing the value of $7. I came to know that its searching for the ($7) variable in makefile. I want that ($7) variable to store in any other variable

How is not there in the makefile, how to solve this issue?

Is this possible or not?

Try:

grep 'svseed' tc_1/tc1.log | awk '{print $$7}'

To escape a dollar sign in a makefile, you have to double it.
