Good Afternoon:

        I need to write a script/execute a command and don't have a lot
of time to research.  The script will take in the output from the ls -al
command and evaluate only the first 10 characters (the file type and
permissions). I want to copy out all the lines that have -********T or
-********t  in the file permissions indicators.  What is the best to do
this?

You want to pattern match?  Why not use grep?
  ls -al | grep -i '^-........t'

But depending on your end goal there may be a better way, like using find:
  find . -perm -1000

Good luck,
