Is there any way to get the info lined up in columns using printf? I've tried a few things but it never seems to come out right; maybe the data is just too funky to get it to line-up?

So, given INPUT like:
FEB 20-98 VLY 1041 2094 8 8 8 8 8 8 NB SMITH GW : - : - :LAPS : 8 : 40 : - : - : 1
JAN 7-98 VLY 1030 2064 6 3 3 4 4 3 2071 NB SMITH GW : - : - :LAPS : 6 : 40 : - : - : 1
MAR 9-98 VLY $500 1024 2060 5 2 3 4 2 2 2063 1900 SMITH GW : - : - :LAPS : 8 : 36 : - : - : 1
MAR 13-98 VLY $1,350 1004 2022 2 3 2 2 1 1 2022 1130 SARAMA GW : - : - :LAPS : 7 : 31 : - : - : 2

Can i get OUTPUT like:
Code:
FEB 20-98	VLY			1041	2094	8  8  8  8  8  8		NB    SMITH GW	: - : - :LAPS : 8 : 40 : - : - : 1
JAN 7-98	VLY			1030	2064	6  3  3  4  4  3	2071	NB    SMITH GW	: - : - :LAPS : 6 : 40 : - : - : 1
MAR 9-98	VLY		$500	1024	2060	5  2  3  4  2  2	2063	1900  SMITH GW	: - : - :LAPS : 8 : 36 : - : - : 1
MAR 13-98	VLY		$1,350	1004	2022	2  3  2  2  1  1	2022	1130  SARAMA GW	: - : - :LAPS : 7 : 31 : - : - : 2
MAR 27-98	VLY		$675	1013	2020	4  1  1  1  1  2	2020	*1750 SMITH GW	: - : - :LAPS : 8 : 60 : - : - : 2
