I wanted to select a column from a v$ table

struggled with it
and finally came with a workaround as follows

archived_log='$archived_log'
begin_seq=`sqlplus -s /nolog <<EOF
connect / as sysdba
set head off
set echo off
set feedback off
set verify off
select max(sequence#)-1 from v$archived_log ; exit
EOF`
echo $begin_seq

However, the question is how to
'directly' take the output into a shell variable? there 'shud be' a better workaround than this !

Thanks
