Assigning output of a command to a variable

[Nicole]

How can I get the output of a command into a variable? I cannot find 
anything about this in the manual.

In bash terms I'd like to this:
set uuid=$(probe -u (hd1,mdos1)
echo ${uuid}

The output from this should the uuid of the disk queried.

Thanks in advance
