you can use awk or cut command

Code:

awk '{print $2}' disp.txt

use cut with suitable option i mean as per your file delimiter

Code:

ls -l |cut -d' ' -f2

For other fields change the numeric values .

please, do not use ls -l to parse for file names!. Use find, or the shell. !

Code:

find /path -type f 
find /path -type d

Code:

for myfiles in *
do
  [ -d "$myfiles" ] && echo "directory"
  .........
done

Code:

ls -l |grep -v ^d
