How about this ?
Code:
 find . | xargs ls -l | awk '!/^\./ && !/^total/ && !/^$/{print $1,$NF}'

Hi;
thanks for the reply.
I have one problem though.For those files having spaces in their filename,commands are not working properly.
Is der any proper way by which one can do this formating using awk to accept filename containing spaces too in listing.
Thnks again,
