here's the start:
ls -lR | nawk -f cg.awk
cg.awk:
Code:
BEGIN {
  FLDsize=5
  FLDdate1=6
  FLDdate2=7
  FLDtime=8

  CHRslash="/"
  format="%10s%10s%10s\t%-20s\n"
}
FNR==1 {
    printf(format, "Length", "Date", "Time", "Name")
    printf(format, "------", "----", "----", "----")
}
$0 ~ ("^" CHRslash) {pathN=split($0, pathA,"/");next}
/^total/ {next}
NF { printf(format, $FLDsize, $FLDdate1,$FLDdate2, pathA[pathN-1] CHRslash $NF)}

Hi vgersh99, many thanks for your reply.

I've tested your script, the output is slightly different, but I'm not sure how to modify it to reach the desired output.

If I apply your script to the following input:
Code:
/home/user1/MainFolder/:
total 8
drwxr-xr-x 2 user1 user1 4096 2011-02-03 20:08 Folder_1
drwxr-xr-x 3 user1 user1 4096 2011-02-03 20:09 Folder_2

/home/user1/MainFolder/Folder_1:
total 5112
-rw-r--r-- 1 user1 user1 1915873 2010-09-14 15:05 Song1.ogg
-rw-r--r-- 1 user1 user1 3314295 2010-09-14 15:05 Song2.ogg

/home/user1/MainFolder/Folder_2:
total 8192
-rw-r--r-- 1 user1 user1 1684118 2010-12-29 15:17 Document_1.7z
-rw-r--r-- 1 user1 user1 3408014 2010-12-29 15:16 Document_2.7z
-rw-r--r-- 1 user1 user1 3284518 2010-12-29 15:16 Document_3.7z
drwxr-xr-x 2 user1 user1    4096 2011-02-03 20:09 SubFolder1

/home/user1/MainFolder/Folder_2/SubFolder1:
total 20
-rw-r--r-- 1 user1 user1 17013 2011-02-03 16:21 Document_4.txt

the output is:
Code:
Length      Date      Time    Name                
    ------      ----      ----    ----                
      40962011-02-03     20:08    MainFolder/Folder_1 
      40962011-02-03     20:09    MainFolder/Folder_2 
   19158732010-09-14     15:05    MainFolder/Song1.ogg
   33142952010-09-14     15:05    MainFolder/Song2.ogg
   16841182010-12-29     15:17    MainFolder/Document_1.7z
   34080142010-12-29     15:16    MainFolder/Document_2.7z
   32845182010-12-29     15:16    MainFolder/Document_3.7z
      40962011-02-03     20:09    MainFolder/SubFolder1
     170132011-02-03     16:21    Folder_2/Document_4.txt

Is missing the real path, all files appear within MainFolder.
The desired output is:
Code:
 Length      Date      Time    Name                
    ------      ----      ----    ----                
             0-02-03     20:08    MainFolder/
             0-02-03     20:08    MainFolder/Folder_1 
   19158732010-09-14     15:05    MainFolder/Folder_1/Song1.ogg
   33142952010-09-14     15:05    MainFolder/Folder_1/Song2.ogg
             0-02-03     20:09    MainFolder/Folder_2 
   16841182010-12-29     15:17    MainFolder/Folder_2/Document_1.7z
   34080142010-12-29     15:16    MainFolder/Folder_2/Document_2.7z
   32845182010-12-29     15:16    MainFolder/Folder_2/Document_3.7z
             0-02-03     20:09    MainFolder/Folder_2/SubFolder1
     170132011-02-03     16:21    MainFolder/Folder_2/SubFolder1/Document_4.txt

How to reach this goal?

Many thanks in advance
