Deleting a column of text

[doobop]

This may seem like a dumb question, but I've got a list of files from 'ls -l' and I want to delete the colums with the date and time in. THis is so I can do a diff on this with one from another supposedly similar box. eg
-rw-r--r-- 1 oracle dba 162805 Nov 25 15:49 upgrade_8174.lst
becomes
-rw-r--r-- 1 oracle dba 162805 upgrade_8174.lst
Anybody know how I can achieve this.
Thanks for any help

ls -l | nawk '{$6=$7=$8=""; print}'

you can also use cut.

Thanks, that worked a treat.

Clonny2, Found that ls -l | cut -c-41,54- does the same job. Thanks all.
