I want to use this command:
ls -l some_file
in my shell script
But I want to then determine if the file has execute permission for the file owner.
How could i do that?
Is there a way to then after it did the command above, to select a certain value from it eg:
-rwSr-Sr-- 1 philip philip 126 2008-10-01 17:15 test.java
Could i select the 4th character?
