Concate a string in awk
Hello Community,

i have a litte Problem with concating a string in an awk command.

Code:
val_arr=( $( cat myfile |  awk '
  NR==1 { name=$2} 
  NR==3 { dateformat=$9 OFS $6 OFS $8 OFS $7 OFS $10}
  NR==4 { length=$8}
  NR==5 { progress=int($3) }
  END{print name,dateformat,length,progress};
  ' ) )

echo ${val_arr[0]}
echo ${val_arr[1]}
echo ${val_arr[2]}
echo ${val_arr[3]}


Output:

Code:
Testtool2
16:44:51
Fri
4

But the Output should look like this:

Code:
Testtool2
16:44:51 Fri 4 Jan 2013
2h0m
13

It looks like that print split the variable dateformat and give it to the Array.
That mean that the array looks like this:

Code:
val_arr[0] = Testtool2
val_arr[1] = 16:44:51 
val_arr[2] = Fri 
val_arr[3] = 4 
val_arr[4] = Jan 
val_arr[5] = 2013


Somehow how could help?
