Hi Andre, It looks like "stat" has the advantage over "ls -l" when it comes to displaying the complete user and group name - my user name is "janschenkel" which is cut down to 8 characters using "ls -l" so that's not a workable solution. The reason to avoid a shell call to stat is simple: calling it for each individual file in a big folder could prove an expensive operation, while a simple mapping method should suffice to convert 501 to "janschenkel" when you're already using the detailed files.
