Yup.

Or, (tested under Linux):

[master@master master]$ ls -l v* | sed 's/  */:/g'
-rw-r--r--:1:master:master:27673:Jan:14:2000:vdet.tgz
-rw-rw-r--:1:master:master:139:Jan:15:2000:void.def
-rw-r--r--:1:master:master:6312:Jan:13:2000:voidlog.tgz
-rw-r--r--:1:master:master:102659:Jan:13:2000:voidmake.tgz
[master@master master]$

note the sed script I use here has TWO spaces. One would work just as well.
