The desired outout would be similar to the input file but with specific character lengths.

Here is the first line:
Code:
ADO Sample.h,v ADO Sample 2010-05-21 lyonsb /repository/patents/TSCommon/OpenSource/Dundass/ug6mfc/DataSources/Ado/ADO Sample

When I run the awk line, it outputs it like this
Code:
ADO                                        Sample.h,v                 ADO          Sample                                       2010-05-21                 lyonsb          lyonsb /repository/patents/TSCommon/OpenSource/Dundass/ug6mfc/DataSources/Ado/ADO Sample

This is just an example I didn't use the actual character length, however the ouput I'm looking for would be this:
Code:
ADO Sample.h,v                                  ADO Sample                      2010-05-21  lyonsb      /repository/patents/TSCommon/OpenSource/Dundass/ug6mfc/DataSources/Ado/ADO Sample

I hope this makes sense, basically the awk line will look at this first field, which is $1, and treat the spaces as spaces, therefore $2 ends up being part of the filename and not the actual second field, and the last field $5 gets truncated.

NAME
DBIx::Class::Storage::DBI::ADO::MS_Jet - Support for MS Access over ADO DESCRIPTION
This driver is a subclass of DBIx::Class::Storage::DBI::ADO and DBIx::Class::Storage::DBI::ACCESS for connecting to MS Access via DBD::ADO. See the documentation for DBIx::Class::Storage::DBI::ACCESS for information on the MS Access driver for DBIx::Class. This driver implements workarounds for "TEXT/IMAGE/MEMO" columns, sets the cursor_class to DBIx::Class::Storage::DBI::ADO::MS_Jet::Cursor to normalize returned "GUID" values and provides DBIx::Class::InflateColumn::DateTime support for "DATETIME" columns. EXAMPLE DSNs # older Access versions: dbi:ADO:Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=C:Users kitoverDocumentsaccess_sample.accdb # newer Access versions: dbi:ADO:Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=C:Users kitoverDocumentsaccess_sample.accdb;Persist Security Info=False' TEXT
/IMAGE/MEMO COLUMNS The ADO driver does not suffer from the problems the ODBC driver has with these types of columns. You can use them safely. When you execute a "CREATE TABLE" statement over this driver with a "TEXT" column, it will be converted to "MEMO", while in the ODBC driver it is converted to "VARCHAR(255)". However, the caveat about LongReadLen having to be twice the max size of your largest "MEMO/TEXT" column +1 still applies. DBD::ADO sets LongReadLen to a large value by default, so it should be safe to just leave it unset. If you do pass a LongReadLen in your connect_info, it will be multiplied by two and 1 added, just as for the ODBC driver. AUTHOR
