i need a little help with the ls command
 

Hello all,

As for a hobby project i want to create a textfile of some files on my linux fileserver, but i need it to be in a certain format to import it in a database.
The server runs on knoppix 3.3.

I want to use the ls command for that, but i can't get it the way i want. :cry:

(URL could be something like //bigmofo1/linux/knoppix.iso)
I want to have it in this format : Filename, size, URL, date created.

If anyone can give me a hand i'd appreciate it very much, thank you :)

Well, you could use awk with something along the lines of- though that won't give you the absolute path to each file. You could 'cat' on the output of pwd, presumably, though there might be a simpler way to do it...

Cheers,

You might want to take a look at the du command.

Thank you very much for the reply. I will have a look at the du command, after i have been studying the awk command. I have a need to understand why it behaves like this, i might even learn something :). I hope it works !!

Thnx again !
