. . . many lines snipped . . .
I see what you have here. It is a listing that has been nicely
arranged for people to look at, but is not very nice for a computer
program to parse. I do have a program that could be used to put this
back into a better form, but you can do the same thing with the
original files. The command line that will produce a listing that
shows the relevant information without pretty-printing is the
following:
$ tar cf - . | tar tvf - | gawk '{$1=$2=$5=""; print}' > /tmp/file.lst
Explanation:
The first "tar" command creates an annotated image file of everything
in the directory and subdirectories.
The second "tar" command reads the annotation from the image file.
The "gawk" command keeps the relevant information, namely file size,
date, and directory path and file name, discarding file attributes,
owner, and time-of-day.
Here is a short sample of what the output looks like when I apply this
to a bunch of files that I am archiving:
0 2005-05-27 ./
0 2002-09-09 ./misc/
524886016 2002-01-12 ./misc/Oracle_downloadable.iso
402941952 2002-01-12 ./misc/XP_Microsoft_Conversion_of_Linux_Ecommerce.iso
615649280 2000-11-23 ./misc/compaq-linux-alpha-power-tools.iso
0 2002-09-09 ./demo/
725712896 2001-11-10 ./demo/linux-demo-debian-based.iso
673349632 2002-03-17 ./demo/linux_demo_debian_suse_based.iso
0 2002-03-16 ./docs/
125587456 2002-03-10 ./docs/KPLUG_docs_v1.6_10-27-01.iso
275204096 2001-03-10 ./docs/internet_encyclopedia_freesoft.iso
Highlights of this presentation that make it easy for another program
to parse include:
Directories are indicated by having 0 size.
File sizes are in bytes, not "-h Human" representation. Easier to do
arithmetic on.
Dates are in sortable year-month-day order.
