awk if one liner syntax for equating with a string variable
I would like to have help with syntax for using a string varaibles inside if and else in a awk one liner.
Eg. I would like to say, list all the filenames that have been modified in a particular month(present in a string variable) or list all the filenames whose owner is $owns and owner group is $group in current directory by using awk one liner...
I tried
Quote:
${month_value} , $month_value , "${month_value}"
with '==' but its either taken literally or gives error.. I am using:
Code:
ls -ltr | awk '{if ($6 == "${month_value}"){print $9 }' > filestobeprocessed.txt

install

install(1)						      General Commands Manual							install(1)

Name
       install - install binaries

Syntax
       install [-c] [-m mode] [-o owner] [-g group] [-s] binary destination

Description
       The  binary  is moved to destination.  If destination already exists, it is removed before binary is moved.  If the destination is a direc-
       tory then binary is moved into the destination directory with its original file-name.

       The command refuses to move a file onto itself.

Options
       -c		   Copies binary to destination.

       -g group 	   Specifies a different group from group staff for destination.  The destination is changed to group system; the -g group
			   option  may	be used to specify a different group.  The user must belong to the specified group and be the owner of the
			   file or the superuser.

       -m mode		   Specifies a different mode from the standard 755 for destination.

       -o owner 	   Specifies a different owner from owner root for destination.  The destination is changed  to  current  owner.   The	-o
			   owner option may be used to specify a different owner, but only the superuser can change the owner.

       -s		   Strips the binary after it is installed.
