Hi,

By default that is how the output is presented. There is no options within 'ls' itself to change it. You could write a program wrapper that changes the output from the date presented to a number.

Only other thing I can suggest is have a look at 'Super ls'. You can find it at this link.

A little clumsy, but you can put this into a script..
ll | sed "s/Jan/01/g" | sed "s/Feb/02/g"
and so on for all the months.

Hi

Put this in a script

exec $1|
sed -e 's/ Jan / 01 /'|
sed -e 's/ Feb / 02 /'|
sed -e 's/ Mar / 03 /'|
sed -e 's/ Apr / 04 /'|
sed -e 's/ May / 05 /'|
sed -e 's/ Jun / 06 /'|
sed -e 's/ Jul / 07 /'|
sed -e 's/ Aug / 08 /'|
sed -e 's/ Sep / 09 /'|
sed -e 's/ Oct / 10 /'|
sed -e 's/ Nov / 11 /'|
sed -e 's/ Dec / 12 /'

Then script command

ex script ll

Output comes with date changed

That is the default setting. You can try to write a script to change that but there is no option in the ls command that can do that.

Hi Guru,

try this:

ll | awk -v var=`date +"%e %m %X"` '{print $1, $2, $3, $4, $5, var, $7, $8, $9}'


date +%m gives you the desired format for the month.

You can make a little awk-script which is easier to call then.

Allways stay on the bright side of life!
