What if the new string which will replace column1 is more than "45" charactes in length?

Post a sample output on what exactly you are expecting.
Hi

No the new string will always have the string length less than 44 chars. It will not pass 45 chars limit

Sample text
_______________

Code:
"PROD GLOBAL"                        "BPROD Tray"  
"ABC LONDON"                         "Capla"                      
"ARAS GLOBAL COMPANY"          "AAC - Optiver"

Suppose I replace ARAS GLOBAL COMPANY with ARAS LIMITED, then also the column 2 shld start from 46th char only and not charecters before.

Thanks,
Sudeep

I am not able to preserve the alignment in the above post but it is like...
column A (length 45 chars)
column B (length 50 chars) starts from 46th char from left
