dirpath script using sed
Hey guys,

I have to make a script that will show a formatted listing of permissions of a directory, and of all the directories in its path, starting from the root directory. It should work if the directory is specified using absolute or relative path. If not listed like that it will just execute for the current working directory. The script also highlights the directory which don't have execute permissions for other users.
Code:
ex:
dirpath dir1

  Owner   Group   Other   Filename
  -----   -----   -----   --------
d r w x   r - x   r - x   /
d r - x   r - x   r - x   home
d r w x   - - x   - - t   user
d r w x   - - x   - - x   public
d r w x   - - x   - - -   files(this would be highlighted in black)
d r w x   - - x   - - x   assigment

If anyone could help me this I would really apprecaite it. I am just
not sure to begin and I have no clue how I would go about highlighting.
The only thing I am sure about is that I think have to use sed for the final output just by the looks of it.

Why does it have to be 'sed'?
This sounds like a homework assignment.
