Hi Everyone.
I hope you are all ok.
Newbie to Unity here, going mad looking at sharing variables between scripts.
I have done loads of googling and reading and I must be making a very basic mistake somewhere.
I simply want, as a learning exercise, to create a string as public in one script and print it to the console in another script.
I have spent ages online - into my third day, so please put me out of my misery.
To keep it really simply I took the example from the unity.learn area:
and made my own mini version.
And no matter how much I tidy it up and look for mistakes I always get the error
NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object
ScriptNo2.Start () (at Assets/Scripts/ScriptNo2.cs:15)
If anyone can help me I will be eternally grateful.

So here are the two scripts:
First the one to create the string:
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
public class ScriptNo1 : MonoBehaviour
{
public string outText = "Bernie Sanders";
}
and second the one to access that variable and print it to console:
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
public class ScriptNo2 : MonoBehaviour
{
private ScriptNo1 scriptNo1;
void Awake()
{
scriptNo1 = GetComponent<ScriptNo1>();
}
void Start()
{
Debug.Log("A message from Start in Script 2 drawing variable from Script 1 " + scriptNo1.outText);
}
}
