File/string formatter script?

Hi all,

I have a config file that contains some text as below:

Code:

server01        :/u01/app/oracle/admin/db01/adump              :*.dmp,5        :compress         :/bin/gzip
server01        :/u01/app/oracle/admin/db04/adump             :*.aud,5        :remove         :/bin/rm
server01        :/u01/app/oracle/admin/db06/adump              :*.log,5        :remove         :logrotate

Can anyone advise how is the best way to be able to format the text so that they lined up neatly?

At the moment, am doing it manually. Thinking I should use awk and printf using the max string of each column as the basis for the max length of the column for each field. Using space seems to be better than using tab as well.

Any feedback much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
