I need to possibly make a script or in some other way change the behaviour of ls so that something like -rw-r--r-- 1 lorenzo lorenzo 16106 Dec 21 1997 pongmey.tet looks more like pongmey.tet -rw-r--r-- lorenzo lorenzo Is there an easy way to do this or would I have to use something like awk or sed, which I know little or nothing about? Would I need to completely write a program from scratch to do this, or does one already exist, or could this possibly be done through a relatively simple script? Thanks for any help, PRINCE _______________________________________________ Blinux-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/blinux-list
