I need to store the output of this command into a variable:

sh "curl -s 'http://nexus-cicd.stgcloud.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.xml' | grep '<version>.*</version>' | sort --version-sort | uniq | tail -n1 | sed -e 's#\\(.*\\)\\(<version>\\)\\(.*\\)\\(</version>\\)\\(.*\\)#\\3#g'"

I tried the following, but echo output null

parentLast = sh ("curl -s 'http://nexus-cicd.stgcloud.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.xml' | grep '<version>.*</version>' | sort --version-sort | uniq | tail -n1 | sed -e 's#\\(.*\\)\\(<version>\\)\\(.*\\)\\(</version>\\)\\(.*\\)#\\3#g'")
echo "$parentLast"

Please use the format `sh (script: "", returnStdout: true).trim()`. – Dibakar Aditya Nov 02 '19 at 17:18
