Remove time stamps from text file
 
Hey Guys,

I just recently restored a system that had gone down to another server and we're checking that all the content has been moved over (we've gotten some reports of issues).

I've generated a a hefty list of all the files with a CRC checksum to compare against, however I've run in to a problem where the list contains the mtime of each file, and it's different on the destination so it's throwing off the diffs I'm running and I'm getting a lot of false positives.

I'm curious if anyone can tell me how to pull a timestamp out, rather just the first two columns out (however there are lines that start with a #) here's a sample of what I'm working with:

Code:
#  Archive data\10\Administering.zip

This maybe ?
Will give you the last to colums only.

<input> |awk '{print $5,$6}'

Maybe this is what you want, which skips lines starting with #.
<input> |awk '{if($1 !="#"){print $5,$6}}'
