Good Day All,
I though I could figure this out but I seem to be having a mental block. I
also searched the archives for some help but was unsuccessful. I have a
file with variable length records. I need to pad each record with space to
equal 465 length record.
Example File:
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB
CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC
First record has 30 "A's" . I need to add 435 spaces to the end of this
record.
Second Record has 65 "B's". I need to add 400 spaces to the end of this
record.
Third Record has 25 "C's". I need to add 440 spaces to the end of this
record.
And so on. I though I could do it with sed but I can't figure it out. Any
help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Jim Naylor
