store awk results in a variable
I try to get the month (of last save) and the filename into a variable, is this possible ?

something like this :

for month in `ls -la | awk '{print $6}'`
do

if [[ $month == "Sep" ]]
then

a=filename of the matching file

cp $a /Sep

fi


thanks,
Steffen

do
echo "Month: $month and Filename: $file"
done
