drwxr-xr-x 2 u142115 users 160 2006-11-28 10:00 day5

"ls -ltd sales12" will display ONLY a long listing of "sales12".

"ls -ltd day*" will display a list of files/directories because of the wildcard.

Why you need a long listing if you are only interested in the name ("awk '{print $11}'"? There aren't even 11 fields in that output.

"ls -td day*" will display exactly the same without the need to parse the output with "awk".

Last, but not least, if your "ls" command produces a list, then "var1" will also contain a list of sizes, and not a single value.
