Thank you for the message..
The rows are of varying length. I want to append tabs at the end of each row by specifying the number of fields.
Let us say the number of fields are 50.
If row 1 has 10 values, I would like to append 40 tabs at the end.
If row 2 has 2 values, I would like to append 48 tabs at the end.
If row 3 has 50 values, no tabs should be appended.
I have a file which has 40 million rows. Is this a fast way to append delimiters? Can we make the script generic so that if we can pass a parameter like "tab" or "pipe" or "comma", it would append that delimiter...

xkbaddgeomkey
XkbAddGeomKey(3) XKB FUNCTIONS XkbAddGeomKey(3)
NAME
XkbAddGeomKey - Add one key at the end of an existing row of keys
SYNOPSIS
XkbKeyPtr XkbAddGeomKey ( row )
XkbRowPtr row;
ARGUMENTS
- row row to be updated
DESCRIPTION
Xkb provides functions to add a single new element to the top-level keyboard geometry. In each case the num_ * fields of the corresponding
structure is incremented by 1. These functions do not change sz_* unless there is no more room in the array. Some of these functions fill
in the values of the element's structure from the arguments. For other functions, you must explicitly write code to fill the structure's
elements.
The top-level geometry description includes a list of geometry properties. A geometry property associates an arbitrary string with an
equally arbitrary name. Programs that display images of keyboards can use geometry properties as hints, but they are not interpreted by
Xkb. No other geometry structures refer to geometry properties.
Keys are grouped into rows. XkbAddGeomKey adds one key to the end of the specified row. The key is allocated and zeroed. XkbAddGeomKey
returns NULL if row is empty or if it was not able to allocate space for the key. To allocate space for an arbitrary number of keys to a
row, use XkbAllocGeomKeys.
STRUCTURES
typedef struct _XkbKey { /* key in a row */
XkbKeyNameRec name; /* key name */
short gap; /* gap in mm/10 from previous key in row */
unsigned char shape_ndx; /* index of shape for key */
unsigned char color_ndx; /* index of color for key body */
} XkbKeyRec, *XkbKeyPtr;
