Jayan, it did not work! it does not cat. the result is below:

Code:
echo "Mar 4 2009 text1.txt" ; cat text1.txt echo "Apr 10 2009 text2.txt" ; cat text2.txt

---------- Post updated at 03:09 AM ---------- Previous update was at 03:04 AM ----------

sample of my ll -tr:
Code:
ll -tr
total 448
-rw-rw-rw-   1 messi   ops              3 Oct 18 11:48 text1.txt
-rw-rw-rw-   1 messi     sp               3 Oct 20 08:28 text2.txt

then inside the text1...n.txt is one word only in first line! i want to cat it after 6,7,8,9$.
I hope its clear.

---------- Post updated at 08:26 AM ---------- Previous update was at 03:09 AM ----------

Im using this:

Code:
 
for var in `ll -tr | awk '{print $9}'` 
 
     do 
 
          echo "`ll -tr $var|cut -c 45-` \c  ";cat $var
 
     done

but it does not work properly... it prints extra stuff!

OK again:
Code:
ant:/home/vbe/z01 $ ll
total 66
drwxrwxr-x   2 vbe        bin           1024 Oct 21 14:38 .

-rw-rw-r--   1 vbe        bin              5 Oct 21 14:38 text2.txt

Oct 21 14:37 text1.txt
Oct 21 14:38 text2.txt
Oct 21 14:38 text3.txt

### See the difference? ###
ant:/home/vbe/z01 $ ll -tr * | awk '{print $6, $7, $8, $9}'| while read tet ti>
