How to Pass a list of file names to ls
Hi
I have a list of file names generated from a find command.
The list does not show complete file information.
I would like to do this:

generate the list of file names
pass each file name generated to ls -l command

what is the best way to do this without a script?

I have tried something like this but it didn't work

find.... > ls -l $1

Thanks for your help.
