Problem I am having with grep

by
gilesaj001
from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6GQCA)
I am not a programmer but I have a web site at https://parliamenthillottawa.com. I have a file that contains formatted text named weather-data-advisory-temp.txt and I want to find the word "Advisory" and save the line that it is in and the next 2 number of lines.

If I run Code:grep 'Advisory' --after-context=2 weather-data-advisory-temp.txt I get what I want
Quote:
" Weather Advisory ended for:
* City of Ottawa"
If there is an Advisory the Advisory is a paragraph.

If I try to save that command to a variable Code: alert=$(grep 'Advisory' --after-context=2 weather-data-advisory-temp.txt) the results include all the file names in the folder and the text ??

Quote:

echo $alert
Weather Advisory ended for: backup-server.sh move-weather-advisory-data.sh move-weather-data.sh rsa.pass.txt weather-data-advisory-temp.txt weather-data-temp.txt weather-update-advisory-lynx.sh weather-update-lynx.sh City of Ottawa
Can someone tell me where I am going wrong or give me another solution.

Thanks

An extract of the text file is here and the text is bolded:
