Having got the files, would a loop using stat and it's various flags be suitable? You don't tell us you OS, so I'm hoping it is available to you by default. The risk with trying to read the output of something like ls -l is that group names may contain multiple spaces, but maybe none, so that would cause a mismatch on your field counts.
Looking at my manual page for stat, I would use the -c flag with parameters to get the values like this:-
You could build on this with a loop, e.g.:-
Does that help? The timestamps from stat would be numeric so depending on your need, you might have to convert them. You might be better using %Y which will give you the value in seconds since the Epoch (1970-01-01 00:00:00) and then convert to the time format you want, perhaps with date if your system supports the -d flag.
Have a try and let us know if that helps or where you get stuck.
