I am piping an "ls -l" to awk so that all it returns is the file size, date, and file name. The problem is that some files may have spaces in the name so awk is only printing the first word in the file name.

PARTY(1) General Commands Manual PARTY(1)
NAME
party - set OS responses mode
SYNOPSIS
party ON|OFF|WHEREIS [ - ] dnv
DESCRIPTION
Operating systems being what they are, the admin people can easily grow tired of command responses that resemble dyslexic eugene-
speak filtered through Kernighan and Ritchie's collective back-brains. To alleviate this, we have included a slightly more
`casual' mode, in which the responses to all commands are first filtered through a customising routine (DUDE) , which makes them
sound a little more friendly while retaining their full information content (usually). The rooted(c) system prompt is changed to
`What now, dude?' and output from each command is terminated by `No problem, dude.'
OPTIONS
-v Verbose mode (ALL commands have a `verbose' mode). When this option is present, all filtered responses are preceeded by a
message: `This response has been parsed by the DUDE filter and is not intended to be some sort of sleazy come-on.'
-d Don't restart all processes after recompiling the /uselss/libs/eugene file (see below). This alows any important tasks to
complete beforehand.
-n Notify all users that they are about to be force-logged out and force-logged in again.
ON Activates the DUDE filter.
OFF De-activates the DUDE filter.
WHEREIS
Doesn't do anything, but we couldn't resist it.
EXAMPLES
%-) party on
What now, dude?
To compare the differing responses, here is output provided by the ispi -s command, with party OFF and party ON:
party OFF

cute little secretary - looks like she's lost her keyboard template again, she's been hitting the escape key for the past five minutes!

FILES
/uselss/libs/bill&ted/DUDE
This is the pipe process, usually
started at system shoe, which lies
idle until party ON is issued.
/uselss/libs/eugene
Contains all of the ordinary, ho-hum
confusing computer - jargonese
responses which commands ordinarily
issue. Text file.
/uselss/libs/eugene.spoo
compiled version of the eugene file.
/ephemeral/eugene.chex
Checksum for the compiled eugene file.

BUGS
The -n option can be slow.
If the n option is issued, some users in a wi editing session may not receive the `warning, restart imminent' message until after the
restart.
There is no way selectively to follow symbolic links.
