Can we convert a '|' file into a fixed lenght???

Hi All,

I have a pipe separated flat file.But there is often some problem with the records.So is it possible to convert the '|' separated file into a fixed length file by means of some script.

The file has 11 columns which means 10 pipes.Your help is appreciated.

i'm using Sun OS Version 5.10

Thank you,
Kumar
