Processing with awk
I currently have a file whose contents are:

Code:
RangingDates    		1       20090224        20090225        17      0       Export Complete 2009-02-23 19:58:00

Could you please suggest appropriate awk commands for this manipulation so that the output appears as:

Code:
RangingDates    		1       20090224        20090225        17      0       Export Complete 2009-02-23 19:58:00

The above display may not appear correctly. But the intent should be understood please.

If you just want a neat tabulated output, use printf with specific field widths and ignore the tabs...
Code:
printf("%-40s %-3s %-8s  %-8s  %-3s  %-3s  %s\n", $1, $2, $3, $4, $5, $6, $7);
