Your code has numerous problems. Maybe if you describe what you want to do it will be easier to help you than to try and guess by looking at your code.
You want to find all the files that match <*$tester*st*> (but where is $tester defined in your script?). Then what do you want to do? Print just the newest file or just the oldest file or what?

I'm converting decimal to integer with bc, and I'd like to assign the integer output from bc to a variable 'val'.
E.g. In the code below: If b is 5000.000, lines 6 and 8 will output:

config.guess
CONFIG.GUESS(1) User Commands CONFIG.GUESS(1)
NAME
config.guess - guess the build system triplet
SYNOPSIS
config.guess [OPTION]
DESCRIPTION
The GNU build system distinguishes three types of machines, the `build' machine on which the compilers are run, the `host' machine on which
the package being built will run, and, exclusively when you build a compiler, assembler etc., the `target' machine, for which the compiler
being built will produce code.
This script will guess the type of the `build' machine.
Output the configuration name of the system `config.guess' is run on.
Operation modes:
-h, --help
print this help, then exit
-t, --time-stamp
print date of last modification, then exit
-v, --version
print version number, then exit
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
config.guess might need to compile and run C code, hence it needs a compiler for the `build' machine: use the environment variable
`CC_FOR_BUILD' to specify the compiler for the build machine. If `CC_FOR_BUILD' is not specified, `CC' will be used. Be sure to specify
`CC_FOR_BUILD' is `CC' is a cross-compiler to the `host' machine.
CC_FOR_BUILD a native C compiler, defaults to `cc'
CC a native C compiler, the previous variable is preferred
