Hi,

I have a problem, I want to fix up the alignment in my one file, thats over 2000 lines, i need to columns the column on the left
is fine since that is all under eachother, my other side ( right )
is muddled up they are not under each other. The Tabs are off.

IS there any ways i can run this file thru awk/sed or whatever and neaten this up.

Lets say we use awk/sed can we not say anything past field 2 move to field 8 something to that effect.

Thanks
Trevor

man column

This utility will take a file with text fields and output columnar text like a table.
