I wrote a command that moves all the files having
the permissions "rw-------" (i.e. 600) found in a
directory to a different directory.  The command
has the following logic inside of a loop.

 ls -l $filename | grep -q "^-rw-------"   # line 1
 [ $? -eq 0 ] && mv $filename $newdir

The command works, but I wanted to replace line #1 with a
single command eliminating the pipe.  Initially, I thought the
'test' command would be sufficient, but it's not.  Any ideas?

For the curious...  I wrote a C program named 'printmod'
that allows the command to read as follows.

 [ "600" = `printmod $filename` ] && mv $filename $newdir
