Thanks for the expanded explanation

I had tried something similar and got a syntax error (about a missing conjunction) as you said:
Code:
-rw-r--r--    1 root     system            0 Aug 16 11:20 test
-rw-r--r--    1 root     system            0 Aug 16 11:20 2test
-rw-r--r--    1 root     system            0 Aug 16 11:20 2test2
-rw-r--r--    1 root     system            0 Aug 16 11:20 22test
-rw-r--r--    1 root     system            0 Aug 16 11:20 22test22

Thanks for teaching a man to fish.
