Hi, I'm trying to creat a script to organize a bunch of files in directories of years and month, and for this I will use awk and shell scripts, but I would like to know if I can use the awk's output to feed the functions of my script, becouse I had used awk before but when I typed for exemple (ls -l|awk '{print $6"-"$8}') to select only the important columns I send all to a text file ( >> log.txt) and after this the script had started to analyse the lines, but I would like to do that without create this file text. Is possible to do this with AWK.
