You can keep the ls -trcd options, but -l has to go. And parameter expansion in the shell is MUCH faster than invoking another awk per file processed. Maybe something more like:
would do what you want. This should work with ksh or bash on any of those systems. On a Solaris 10 or earlier SunOS system, you'd have to use /usr/xpg4/bin/sh instead of /bin/sh (if you insist on using a shell named sh). The printf is safer than echo. The output from echo can vary depending on what characters are in the pathnames being printed; the printf will give you the pathname itself. Of course, with no indication of what the pathnames you're processing really look like, bite above is completely untested.

I'm using korn shell to connect to oracle, retrieve certain values, put them in a list, and iterate through them. While this method works, I can't help but think there is an easier method.
If you know of one, please suggest a shorter, more efficient method.
