I'm currently writing my sql results to a file and they have trailing spaces after each field. I want to get rid of these spaces and I'm using this code:
TVXTEMP=$(echo $TVXTEMP|sed -e 's/\ //g')
It doesn't work though. I'm not familiar with sedscript, and the other codes I've found online also does not work..
My file output is:
I want remove all the trailing spaces from the file:
4531010001|fname,lastname|fieldvalue2|fieldvalue3
I have a text file which is not fixed width. I want to put trailing spaces to each line and make it a 100 byte fixed width file.
Can someone please help me as soon as possible?
Thanks,

field_buffer
form_field_buffer(3X)form_field_buffer(3X)NAME
form_field_buffer - field buffer control
SYNOPSIS
#include <form.h>
int set_field_buffer(FIELD *field, int buf, const char *value);
char *field_buffer(const FIELD *field, int buffer);
int set_field_status(FIELD *field, bool status);
bool field_status(const FIELD *field);
int set_max_field(FIELD *field, int max);
DESCRIPTION
The function set_field_buffer sets the numbered buffer of the given field to contain a given string:
- Buffer 0 is the displayed value of the field.
- Other numbered buffers may be allocated by applications through the nbuf argument of (see form_field_new(3X)) but are not manipulated
by the forms library.
The function field_buffer returns a pointer to the contents of the given numbered buffer:
- The buffer contents always have the same length, and are padded with trailing spaces as needed to ensure this length is the same.
- The buffer may contain leading spaces, depending on how it was set.
- The buffer contents are set with set_field_buffer, or as a side effect of any editing operations on the corresponding field.
- Editing operations are based on the window which displays the field, rather than a string. The window contains only printable char-
acters, and is filled with blanks. If you want the raw data, you must write your own routine that copies the value out of the buffer
and removes the leading and trailing spaces.
- Because editing operations change the content of the buffer to correspond to the window, you should not rely on using buffers for
long-term storage of form data.
The function set_field_status sets the associated status flag of field; field_status gets the current value. The status flag is set to a
nonzero value whenever the field changes.
The function set_max_field sets the maximum size for a dynamic field. An argument of 0 turns off any maximum size threshold for that
field.
RETURN VALUE
The field_buffer function returns NULL on error. It sets errno according to their success:
E_OK The routine succeeded.
E_BAD_ARGUMENT
Routine detected an incorrect or out-of-range argument.
The field_status function returns TRUE or FALSE.
The remaining routines return one of the following:
E_OK The routine succeeded.
E_SYSTEM_ERROR
System error occurred (see errno).
E_BAD_ARGUMENT
Routine detected an incorrect or out-of-range argument.
SEE ALSO curses(3X) and related pages whose names begin "form_" for detailed descriptions of the entry points.
NOTES
The header file <form.h> automatically includes the header file
When configured for wide-characters, field_buffer returns a pointer to temporary storage (allocated and freed by the library). The appli-
cation should not attempt to modify the data. It will be freed on the next call to field_buffer to return the same buffer. <curses.h>.
PORTABILITY
These routines emulate the System V forms library. They were not supported on Version 7 or BSD versions.
