my contacts got a little fuzzy, I didn't notice which field was "f9", 
so I just assumed it was the filename. just got giggles, what does it 
show when you use f8??

I answered my own question by doing it myself, and coming up with 
f9=filenames ( but not always... spaces in names screw it up)
f8= time:

05:10
06:06
20:10
20:13

to ttest I was using this commandline:
ls -l | cut -d ' ' -f 8
