Is it possible to know only the date of a file ?

[Deepu Chakravarty]

When we do 'ls -l', full listing displays of a file. But if I need only date of a file (like filename and date of last update of that file) which command I should use ?

Hi,

ls -l |cut -c46-75 will give you date, time and filename

# ls -l |cut -c46-75
It should help.

Hi,
This works fine for your requirement.

#ls -l|awk '{printf ("%s\t%s\t%s\t%s\n",$6,$7,$8,$9)}'

Hey....

ls -ltr |awk -F ":" '{if ( NF > 1 ) print $1,"KKKK",$2;else print $0}'|awk -v DATE=`date +%Y` '{ if ( NF > 9 ) print $6,$7,DATE,$11 ; else print $6,$7,$8,$9 }'
