Hi.

Assuming that your file is TSV (Tab-Separated-Values), looking like this on file z6:
Code:
$ cat -A z6
Owner name^Ifile size^Itime of last Modification^Idirectory$
root^I2048^ISep 18 11:11^Iafile.exe$

Then you could use utility align, like so, output separated by TABs:
Code:
$ align -st z6
Owner name	file size	time of last Modification	directory
root		2048		Sep 18 11:11			afile.exe

For more control over spacing, use a gutter change with blanks to separate:
Code:
$ align -st -js -g3 z6
Owner name   file size	 time of last Modification   directory
root	     2048	 Sep 18 11:11		     afile.exe

Here are some details for align:
Code:
align   Align columns of text. (what)
Path    : ~/p/stm/common/scripts/align
Version : 1.7.0
Length  : 270 lines
Type    : Perl script, ASCII text executable
Shebang : #!/usr/bin/perl
Help    : probably available with --help
Home    : http://kinzler.com/me/align/ (doc)
Modules : (for perl codes)
 Getopt::Std    1.10

Best wishes ... cheers, drl

NAME
amanda-scripts - Configuring and using the Script API DESCRIPTION
The Script API is a flexible system for invoking user-supplied scripts at various points in the execution of Amanda. This manual page describes the operation and configuration of the API. For help writing Script API scripts, see http://wiki.zmanda.com/index.php/Script_API. SCRIPTS
This section lists the scripts included with Amanda, see the individual man page for instructions on using them. For complete How-To information, consult the Amanda wiki at http://wiki.zmanda.com. o amzfs-snapshot(8), - create/destroy zfs snapshot. o script-email(8), - send email. Script properties work just like application properties: they are insensitive to case, and - (dash) and _ (underscore) may be used interchangeably. SCRIPTS OUTPUT PROPERTY
A pre-dle-amcheck, pre-dle-estimate or pre-dle-backup executed on the client can output property on stdout that are sent to the application. If the output line matches "PROPERTY str1 str2", Amanda sets a property called "str1" by the value of "str2", that property is sent to the application. SEE ALSO
