Hello,
I have a var $blah=' `pwd`/blah ' (extra spaces for clearer reading), how can i change it to 'output of pwd/blah' ?

I'm not quiet sure what you mean with "output of pwd/blah".

If you want to assign "/home/me/blah" (or whatever your current directory is) you may use the environemnt variable $PWD and the expression would read as:
                        
                        blah=${PWD}/blah

If you insist to use the comand pwd you may write:
        
                blah=`pwd`/blah or blah=$(pwd)/bla

If you want to assign the content of /home/me/blah to your variable use cat:
                
             blah=`cat ${PWD}/blah` or blah=$(cat ${PWD}/blah)
