Getting file permissions in 'NNN' mode

[cadbilbao]

Hi!

I want to obtain a file's permission in 'NNN' mode, not
in '-rwxrwxrwx' mode.

I mean, I would like a script to get DIRECTLY '666' from
a file, not '-rw-rw-rw'.

Any help?

So far as I remember it was:
(^ = Power)

The R = 2^2 = 4
W = 2^1 = 2
X = 2^0 = 1

example: rx = 2^2 + 2^0 = 5

Then you have to make a script that does the
calculation.
Is this what you where asking?
