What do you mean exactly? From what you say, it seems that you must read again the tutorials

x = variable.data

For more details about the type itself check this

In your case, variable has the type std_msgs::Float64 . variable.data would be just a double. declare x as double.

If you ask this question I guess you are using C++?

yes, i use C++. I try to use std_msgs::Float64 x; x=variable.data; but it doesn't work

variable has the type std_msgs::Float64 . variable.data would be just a double. declare x as double. And put a code example in your question, including the declaration of the subscriber and of the callback function, that would help.
