(Note : kindly copy/paste above rows in notepad to get real view)
Now I need to add an extra field og length-9 after first column with NULL value.
So after editing a row should look like this:
1US500100010000010001920077000131973511115107128101771004460001204600004 0 0 0 0
i.e. <1stcolumn value><9 spaces><2nd col value>....and so on..

Let me also tell file has many rows of similar format and size of file is 24mb.

Kindly help....
Will wait for your reply.
Thanks
