Hi :)

Do you have an undying need to use sed? As this is a really nice job for
awk...


#!/bin/sh

ls -l | awk -v thisdir="`pwd`" '
BEGIN {
        print "Content-type: text/html"
        print ""
        print "<html>"
        print "<body>"
        print "<h1>Files in " thisdir "</h1>"
        print "<table>"
}

{
        print "<tr>"
        printf
("<td>%s</td><td>%s</td><td>%s</td><td>%s</td><td>%s</td><td>%s %s
%s</td><td>%s</td>\n", $1, $2, $3, $4, $5, $6, $7, $8, $9)
        print "</tr>"
}

END {
        print "</table>"
        print "</body>"
        print "</html"
}
'
## end of script

It could be enhanced a little to remove the "total" line of line 1, but
that's the bare bones of it. awk automatically splits into fields, so each
column of the ls output is $<fieldnumber> ... so permissions are $1, size
is $5, the date is in $6, $7 and $8 ... etc.

How it all ties together beyond that is an exercise for the reader :)
