Hi Rudic,

I tried with delugeag's solution... getting below error and one line missing in output..

Code:
$ column -s ',' -t file2
column: line too long
1          222222222222  333       444444444444444
111111111  22            33333333  444
143        222222222222  33433     44444444444444434
12434      222222222222  333       444
14324      2222222222    3433      4444444

$ cat file2
1,222222222222,333,444444444444444
111111111,22,33333333,444
