hi

firstly what is your system ? (if unix ? - > which platform or linux ?)
this info required for more help Smilie

if your linux variants maybe try
Code:
ls -l |awk 'NR>1{j=10;for(i=1;i<=10;i++){j--;if(substr($1,i,1)~"[rwx]")o+=2^j;};printf "%o",o;o=0;$1="";}1' OFS='\t'

if your system is unix which platform and which shell ?

regards,
