Changing your screen_sockname with:

#!/bin/sh
screen -ls|sed '/(Attached)/!d;s/(Attached)//;s/    //'

works (it deletes every line that doesn't have an "(Attached)",
then sustitutes that string with an empty one and removes the tab
(notice that the last pattern is a tab, i.e. s/TAB//, though it's
not really necessary)). I hope there's a better solution, but you
can adapt the previous one.
