I am trying to do the following task :

export ENV=aaa
export ENV_PATH=$(cd /apps | ls | grep $ENV)

However, it's not working. What's the way to change to directory and search some file in that directory in single command

Please help.

Try replacing the first pipe by a semicolon.

... or better replace it by && (two ampersand = logical "and"; only continue with the "ls | grep ..." if the "cd ..." was succesful).
