Try stat instead, e.g.

    $ stat -c 'NAME: %n; OWNER: %U, SIZE: %s' *

also supports --printf (see man stat).

It's not standard enough --- coreutils and OSX's work differently.

Yeah, same with the find -printf (at least macports can install coreutils and give you "gstat"). Portability is hard :-/ http://mywiki.wooledge.org/ParsingLs
