Be sure to try each command at the bash prompt to see how it works.

Also, try the older string concatention method. Example:
foo="$result $v"
Or forget v and foo then write:
foo="$result test"

commented: (I have tried it using awk also but the result is same)result=`awk '$0 ~ /Dir=/{print}' $xv | cut -d'=' -f 2`; +0
