Beginner question - How do I retreive an ID to use later in the test?

Sorry for the beginner question - I'm just learning and I can't figure out how to do this one particular thing. Using a test, I create a new record which, upon clicking [Save] a unique ID is displayed for the record. I need to retain this ID in a variable so that I can query the record later in the test by its ID. This ID will obviously change each time I re-run the test and create a new record.
EDIT: I figured it out!!! I found another example and I was able to infer what I needed to do. Just in case someone else has a similar question, here's how I set a value into a variable based on the div ID:
<browser>
function fetchID(){
var ImpActID = _getText(_byId("FV2026"));
return ImpActID;
}
</browser>
$ImpActID = "";
_set($ImpActID, fetchID());

Your solution is right.
If you are just getting the id in fetchID(), you could do the same with just
