So substr is platform dependent because it is being used with ls which is not as platform-dependent as I think?

    • The usage of substr with 'ls -l' results in an index that is platform-dependent.
    • The 'ls' command is supported on more than just *nix platforms. How it is implemented (especially the -l flag) is is platform-dependent. It's also locale-dependent.
