Back to my original issue, just forget the loop for now

just can't get proc$val to equal the output from `ls -ld /proc/${array[$val]}`

I found the following did work

Code:
 eval 'proc'$val=`'ls -ld /proc/{$array[$val]}'`

however I just want the time stamp from this string

Code:
 eval 'proc'$val=`'ls -ld /proc/{$array[$val]} | awk ' {print $7}' '`

fails

Code:
 awk: line 2: missing } near end of file

is this even possible? any ideas would be gratefullly recieved Smilie
