STDOUT in one line

Hi all,

I got a file which contains this.

Code:
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa test
aaaaaaaaaaaaaa test
aaaaaaaaaaa test
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa test
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa test
aaaaaaaaa test
aaaaa test

and I want all test output in one row, ideally 3 spaces after the longest word.
Thanks
