and ls -l file1.txt | awk '{print $6}' returns 2010-09-01
echo "The modified date of file is $Filecrtdate" returns Sep
when I change script to read
Filecrtdate=`ls -l file1.txt | awk '{print $6,$7,$8}`
echo "The modified date of file is $Filecrtdate" it returns Sep 1 22:04
Doesn't make sense seeing how the $6 field in the ls -l command is the date $7 is time stamp and $8 should be file name
