Assigning the value of a register to a variable

[Tim Johnson]

Using vim 7.10 kubunut 7.10
I'd like to be able to assign the contents of a register to a variable
example:
let arg = contents_of_unamed_register
let cmd = "!myscript " . arg
exe cmd

Just some examples or references to :help would be sufficient.
thanks again.

let arg = @" (default register)
let arg = @+ (clipboard)
let arg = @a (when you do a "ayy)

That should get you going.
