ls - hide permissions
I'm listing the files in a particular directory using the ls command...

Code:
$ ls -ogh
total 9.4G
-rw-r--r-- 1 1.9G Nov  4 02:29 file1.tar
-rw-r--r-- 1 1.9G Nov 11 03:11 file2.tar
-rw-r--r-- 1 1.9G Nov 18 02:55 file3.tar
-rw-r--r-- 1 1.9G Nov 25 03:11 file4.tar
-rw-r--r-- 1 1.9G Dec  2 02:46 file5.tar

I'd like to hide the permissions, and rather see this:

Code:
$ ls -????
total 9.4G
1.9G Nov  4 02:29 file1.tar
1.9G Nov 11 03:11 file2.tar
1.9G Nov 18 02:55 file3.tar
1.9G Nov 25 03:11 file4.tar
1.9G Dec  2 02:46 file5.tar

I searched the forum and found that it is pretty easy to do using awk. However, I'd prefer not to use awk and somehow do it from within the ls command.

Can this be done?

try
Code:
ls -ogh | cut -d' ' f3-

Not exactly what I was looking for. I should have been more specific, though. I'm looking for a solution that does not involve pipe (i.e. piping to awk, cut, etc.)
