Define spacing of columns
Hi!

I need to change the spacing assigned to each number in a text file. I have an input file with 5 columns and 3 rows. Here, all numbers are separated by 1 space. I need to change this in such a way that the number in the first column has 6, the number in the second column has 5 and all other numbers has 4 spaces:

Convert:
Code:
-6666 _-5555_444_44_4
-6666 _-5555_444_44_4
-6666 _-5555_444_44_4

To:
Code:
_-6666-5555_444__44___4
 _-6666-5555_444__44___4
 _-6666-5555_444__44___4

(I used "_" instead of "space" in this thread for illustrative purpose only)

Any help appreciated! Thank you!
Cheers,
Chris
