Awk displays file name twice (?!)

Greetings.

I have files that contains eleven fields in the file name. Each file has a specific meaning. My job is to list each file name and load the info into a database table for reporting.

My awk code does this (files have VER suffix):

Code:
    find . -name "*.VER" -exec ls '{}' ';' -printf %f\\t | awk -F"~" '{print $1"\t"$2"\t"$3"\t"$4"\t"$5"\t"$6"\t"$7"\t"$8"\t"$9"\t"$10"\t"$0}' > somefile.tab

It works fine except that it does something weird with the file name ($0): it repeats it like so (the 2 last fields from the right):

Code:
    RRR1	PRE	DTV_PREP	PREP05	JGM15453.	26	P	H23-600	029416589165	20110216	RRR1~PRE~DTV_PREP~PREP05~JGM15453.~26~P~H23-600~029416589165~20110216~090353.VER	./RRR1~PRE~DTV_PREP~PREP05~JGMDTV269~33~P~H21-200~029384120357~20110216~091829.VER

What am missing here? Any ideas?

Thanks for your input.

I removed " -printf %f\\t " and replaced $0 with $filename. It works now but display "./" right before the filename. How can remove these two leading characters?

Locale::Codes::LangFam(3)				User Contributed Perl Documentation				 Locale::Codes::LangFam(3)

NAME
Locale::Codes::LangFam - standard codes for language extension identification SYNOPSIS
use Locale::Codes::LangFam; $lext = code2langfam('apa'); # $lext gets 'Apache languages' $code = langfam2code('Apache languages'); # $code gets 'apa' @codes = all_langfam_codes(); @names = all_langfam_names(); DESCRIPTION
The "Locale::Codes::LangFam" module provides access to standard codes used for identifying language families, such as those as defined in ISO 639-5. Most of the routines take an optional additional argument which specifies the code set to use. If not specified, the default ISO 639-5 language family codes will be used. SUPPORTED CODE SETS
There are several different code sets you can use for identifying language families. A code set may be specified using either a name, or a constant that is automatically exported by this module. For example, the two are equivalent: $lext = code2langfam('apa','alpha'); $lext = code2langfam('apa',LOCALE_LANGFAM_ALPHA); The codesets currently supported are: alpha This is the set of three-letter (lowercase) codes from ISO 639-5 such as 'apa' for Apache languages. This is the default code set. ROUTINES
