If all you need are the creation date and filename,
set bar to "-rwx------ 0 286 512 Jun 06 12:36
demo10.log"
set text item delimiters to space
set foo to text items -1 through -4 of bar as text
set text item delimiters to ""
foo
set bar to "-rwx------ 0 286 512 Jun 06 12:36
demo10.log"
set text item delimiters to space
set foo to text items -1 through -4 of bar as text
set text item delimiters to ""
foo
--> "Jun 06 12:36 demo10.log"
