Code:
# ./justdoit infile
First Line                =1
Second Line               =2
And the third Line        =3
Now comes the fourth Line =4

Code:
 ## justdoit ##
 
#!/bin/bash
rm -f tmpSEDx
x=" "
sed -n "$ s/=/$x=/p" $1>>tmpSEDx
lastl=$(cat tmpSEDx|wc -c)
while  read -r l
  do
    curl=$(echo $l|wc -c)
    let count=$lastl-$curl
    commandx=""
    x=" "
    while [ $(( count -= 1 )) -gt -1 ]
     do
      commandx="$commandx$x";
     done
     echo "$l"|sed "s/=/$commandx=/" >>tmpSEDx
 done<$1
sed '1d' tmpSEDx

NAME

       Point, Line, MultiLine, S_MultiLine, SF_MultiLine - structured graphics classes for points, lines, and open polygons

SYNOPSIS

       #include <Unidraw/Graphic/lines.h>

DESCRIPTION

       Point  and  Line  are subclasses of Graphic that draw a point and a line, respectively.	MultiLine is a Vertices subclass that serves as an
       abstract base class for open polygons: S_MultiLine is a MultiLine subclass for stroked open polygons,  while  SF_MultiLine  is  a  stroked-
       filled open polygon.  Point, Line, and S_MultiLine store a PSBrush, while SF_MultiLine also stores a PSPattern.

POINT PUBLIC OPERATIONS

       Point(Coord x, Cord y, Graphic* = nil)
	      Construct a Point object, optionally supplying a graphic from which to obtain an initial set of graphics state.

       void GetOriginal(Coord&, Coord&)
	      Return the coordinates supplied in the constructor.

LINE PUBLIC OPERATIONS

       Line(Coord x0, Cord y0, Coord x1, Coord y1, Graphic* = nil)
	      Construct a Line object, optionally supplying a graphic from which to obtain an initial set of graphics state.

       void GetOriginal(Coord& x0, Coord& y0, Coord& x1, Coord& y1)
	      Return the line's endpoints as supplied in the constructor.

MULTILINE PROTECTED OPERATIONS

       MultiLine(Coord* x, Coord* y, int count, Graphic* = nil)
	      MultiLine's constructor is protected to prevent instantiation of the abstract base class.  The parameters are passed directly to the
	      Vertices constructor.

S_MULTILINE PUBLIC OPERATIONS
       S_MultiLine(Coord* x, Coord* y, int count, Graphic* = nil)
	      Construct an S_MultiLine object, optionally supplying a graphic from which to obtain an initial set of graphics state.

SF_MULTILINE PUBLIC OPERATIONS
       SF_MultiLine(Coord* x, Coord* y, int count, Graphic* = nil)
	      Construct an SF_MultiLine object, optionally supplying a graphic from which to obtain an initial set of graphics state.
