[SOLVED] Shell Script variable error.

[ashmew2]

Hi , I just wrote this shell script ( with help from SO MANY sites).

varx = $(ps ux | awk '/vlc/ && !/awk/ {print $2}')
echo $varx

i havent included the #!/bin/sh line on top and when i try to run this file from the terminal :

# ./vlc.sh

I get the Following output :

./vlc.sh: line 1: varx: command not found

What am i doing wrong ? Please help me , Im out of my mind

[ghostdog74]

put #!/bin/bash on the first line
When declaring variables, no spaces

varx=$(ps ux | awk '/vlc/ && !/awk/ {print $2}')
