How can i get the ls command to output in the following format

deathalele · 11-16-2008, 01:06 PM

I want the ls -l command to give me the following output

Quote:

drwxr-xr-x 7 iwan users 4096 2008-11-15 10:31 ~/home/me/directory/file.ext

With all colum lengths the same

Is it possible to this with this command or another similar one

Thanks in advance

And what is wrong with present 'ls -l' output ? The fact that you do not have the '~/home/me/directory' part ?

And what is the meaning of '~' that you propose ?

When i do ls -l

The collums are often different lengths
and with the ~/ho... i started off wrtitng ~/ instead ~/home/. just a small typo

From 'man ls':

-T, --tabsize=COLS
assume tab stops at each COLS instead of 8

- this might your column width problem.
