C Shell Script

I'm stuck on figuring out what the script would be to check the owner of a dir/file and actually print out the owner of said dir/file.
Any ideas??

use "ls -l file" and separate the output into it's various fields.

Thank you for your help. I am just attempting to learn scripting.
When I attempt to execute this, I get no error, the cursor just blinks with no response.

set path = $<
set owner = "ls -l"
if ( -o $path ) then
echo "Owner is $owner"
else
echo "Owner is $owner"
endif

echo `ls -l filename` | ( read M C U R ; echo $U )
