Format data to columns addind spaces
Hi all,

I have a problem to format data from different database queries into one look. The input data are as follows, every line has the same number of values but a different number of characters:

Code:
adata, bdata,     cdata,    ddata
fffdata,  gdata,      hdata,    idata
jdata,    kdata,   ldata,   mdaata

What I want is a formatted output with the same number of characters in each line:

Code:
adata,   bdata, cdata, ddata
fffdata, gdata, hdata, idata
jdata,   kdata, ldata, mdaata

I´m useing Redhat-Linux and ksh.

Thanks for your support!

NAME

       claws-mail-gdata-plugin -- Access to GData (Google services) plugin.

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the claws-mail-gdata-plugin.

       This manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the original program does not have a manual page.

       claws-mail-gdata-plugin is a plugin (loadable module) for the Claws Mail mailer.

       This plugin provides access to the Google services using the GData library.

       Currently allows using your Google contacts as results for address autocompletion in the compose window.

USAGE

       Before using a plugin you must instruct Claws Mail to load it on startup.

       For  this you must go ``Configuration'' menu on main window toolbar, open ``Plugins...'' dialog, click on the ``Load plugin...'' button and
       select the plugin file, named gdata_plugin.so, and press the ``Open'' button.
