Java Restricting the ls command options

Hi
I want the 'ls' command to display only the file size,date modified and name of the file.What i could see with different options is this:

$ls -got packagecount.csv
$-rwxrwxrwx 1 393137 Aug 21 14:46 packagecount.csv

Now what should be my possible combinations,so that i can get this:
393137 Aug 21 14:46 packagecount.csv
Is there any other options to go for it?

Best Regards
Shovan

i think you have to use this..
ls -got filename|awk '{print $3 $4 $5 $6 $7}'

Check if you can get any options in man page.

If the filename consists of spaces then your command will not work properly...Smilie

Bug

Hi,
Thanks guys for so many reply.Indeed it worked.But what if i want to give the file as a source from the find command result.How would i do this?
b="directory where i am looking for the file
a=file to which i am writing the output
abc_*.package is the pattern i am looking for

I am new to scripting,and sorry for any silly questions,i can find the output and post it to destination using:

find $b -name \*abc_*.package -exec ls -goth '{}' \;>>a

So i am getting the files with entire path being enlisted.Now i observe "sed" can be used or can i use awk'{print $3 " " $4 " " $5 " " $7}'.But i am not sure about how to do this.I am not comfortable at redirection.

Best Regards
Shovan
