Question Help with Aligning the content of a txt file

Hello friends
Please help me to display the content of a file in specific aligned manner.
for ex.
the content of the file may be
[code]
>$TEST
WELCOME
HI
HELLO
UNIX
SHELL
SCRIPTING
>$
I want to display the content like
Code:
.
TEST                      WELCOME        HI
HELLO                   UNIX                 SHELL
SCRIPTING   ....
.

Here we need to consider the longest word of the file( in this ex SCRIPTING = 9),So after each word there should me some empty spaces,
ex: TEST has only 4 letters in it, So I need 5 empty space following TEST so 4+5 = 9...like this i need to display the content

( Here in this site the empty spaces are not coming)

Please help me to fix this..I'm trying this for since 10 days..couldn't figure it out...Thanks in advance...
