Hey,
Thanks to everyone who replied. Infact many people replied with almost identical answers.
awk '{printf "%8d %8d %8d %8d %8d\n", $1, $2, $3, $4, $5}' <My_file_name>
The above one liner worked for me.
I hope this summary reaches the group as i had summarised earlier but it didn't reach the group. If you get it twice pls excuse me.
Regards
Himanshu

Subject: Help for formatting using scripting
Hey all,
I have a file with say 5 columns with integers in all of them.
I need to write a script which will modify the file such that each of the
number is written with default 8 spaces allocated to it. For e.g. even if
the number is 962, it will be left alligned & use up 8 spaces
Its a small task. I tried many combinations of awk & printf.
Pls help.
TIA
Himanshu
