Storing value from a parsed ping

Question

I\'m working on some code that performs a ping operation from python and extracts only the latency by using awk. This is currently what I have:

from os import sy         


        

Answer 1

Here is how I store output to a variable.

test=$(ping -c 1 google.com | awk -F"=| " 'NR==2 {print $11}')
echo "$test"
34.9
