Hi,
how can i to give input to rm command ?
i would to delete all file of June. to get June file i write:
ls -al | grep Jul | awk '{ print $9 }'


What about filenames which have the string "Jul" somewhere in their name?

Right. He could use:

ls -al | awk '$6 ~ "Jul" { print $9 }'

if the month name is in the 6th field, and in a POSIX awk (i.e. one that
supports Regular Expession Intervals) to select everything from the 9th
field on (to accomodate file names with non-newline spaces) would be:

sub(/^[[:space:]]*([^[:space:]]*[[:space:]]*){8}/,"")

So, with GNU awk you'd use:

ls -al | gawk --re-interval '$6 ~ "Jul" {
sub(/^[[:space:]]*([^[:space:]]*[[:space:]]*){8}/,""); print }'
