The text continues to demonstrate how to parse the output of the `ls -la` command in Nushell. It refines the process by skipping the first line (total line) and then splitting the remaining lines into named columns such as permissions, file count, group, user, size, month, day, time, and name, providing a structured view of the directory contents.
