Hi.

If you are interested in a general solution, S Kinzler has shared a very good perl script, align:
Code:
# align - filter to align columns of text
# Steve Kinzler, kinzler@cs.indiana.edu, Jun 00/Oct 01/Dec 01
# see website http://www.cs.indiana.edu/~kinzler/align/
# http://www.cs.indiana.edu/~kinzler/home.html#unix
Using it on your data, here is a sample of the output:
Code:
     1  0       8718   8718      0   8777
     2  1       7450   7450      0   7483
     3  2       5063   5063      0   5091
     4  3       3840   3840      0   3855
     5  4       3129   3129      0   3142
   ...
    21  20     12991  12991      0  13048
    22  21     12435  12435      0  12484
    23  22     13545  13545      0  13624
    24  23     14584  14584      0  14656
    25  total 235612 235612      0 236850
Best wishes ... cheers, drl
