$x in the awk command will just extract the column number x

please run

Code:
find . -ls

Your output will be made of some columns (inode, size, owner, group, access right ... filename ...)

if you pipe your output to feed the awk command you can then easiy extract the columns of your choice.

Please give more clue when asking question : show us
  1. How does your input file look like
  2. What you did type
  3. What output you have
  4. What error message you have (if you have some)
  5. What output you expect

NAME
colrm -- remove columns from a file SYNOPSIS
colrm [start [stop]] DESCRIPTION
The colrm utility removes selected columns from the lines of a file. A column is defined as a single character in a line. Input is read from the standard input. Output is written to the standard output. If only the start column is specified, columns numbered less than the start column will be written. If both start and stop columns are spec- ified, columns numbered less than the start column or greater than the stop column will be written. Column numbering starts with one, not zero. Tab characters increment the column count to the next multiple of eight. Backspace characters decrement the column count by one. ENVIRONMENT
The LANG, LC_ALL and LC_CTYPE environment variables affect the execution of colrm as described in environ(7). EXIT STATUS
The colrm utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs. SEE ALSO
awk(1), column(1), cut(1), paste(1) HISTORY
The colrm command appeared in 3.0BSD. BSD
