Hi all.,

i am working on script.

I have a file. i type ls -ltr and i get

-rwxrwx--- 1 pavi C2052EX 15 Mar 21 09:50 START.TTN.20060321.095017.ctl_20060321095032

( pls note everything is in 1 line, here it came in 2 lines.)

I have to use awk command and only get the MAR 21 to be displayed in the out.it is tab delimited.

can anyone help me please how can i do it using awk

thanks
pavi

Try:

Code:

ls -ltr|nawk '/Mar 21/ {print $6,$7;}'

ls -ltr | awk 'BEGIN{/Mar 21/} {print $6,$7;}'

But what is the use of displaying only the date?
Maybe you want to display the file name:

Code:

ls -ltr|awk '/Mar 21/ {print $9;}'
