Hi! If i want to output information about a file in this format:
-rw------- 1 lczegel users 270 Jan 28 2007 f2.c

lczegel
users

Answer
Hi Ryan,
I am not sure what is stored in $file. But you can try one of the following and check whether it works
1) echo "$file"
or
2) echo -n $file
Since I do not have Unix setup, I cannot try from my end. If this doesn't work, give me all the details about what is exactly required to be done.
Hope this helps.
Regards
Suchitra
