Re: Dired doesn't understand localized file dates

[Paul Stoeber]

What about

(setq dired-move-to-filename-regexp "^ *[^ ]+ +[^ ]+ +[^ ]+ +[^ ]+ +[^ ]+ +[^ 
]+ +[^ ]+ +[^ ]+ +")

I've always relied on this format when parsing ls with awk, but maybe
it's wrong under some locales.  It appears to be correct under
LC_TIME=sv_SE.
