Have got another method, however I need to put $gap in the sed statement. How can I pass the gap?

Code:
echo "$frmt_k1d1_test" | sed 's/.../&$gap/g'

gap=8
frmt_k1d1_test="%s${aLongSpace:0:$gap}%s\n"
echo "$frmt_k1d1_test"

This works, however I originally have the string

Code:
frmt_k1d1_test="%s    %s\n"

Modification should be done using this string as initial input.

       -v, --verbose

	      report progress while aligning (default: off)

       -a, --alignment-order

	      print sequences in alignment order rather than input order (default: off)

       -T, -temperature

	      Sets the thermodynamic temperature parameter

	      (default: 5 (for protein data mode), 1 ( for nucleotide data mode)).

       -score_matrix, --score_matrix

       -nuc

	      Specify this option to indicate that inputted sequences are nucleotide sequences

       -prot

	      Specify this option to indicate that inputted sequences are protein sequences [DEFAULT]

       -showPP

	      Outputs the posterior probabilities of alignment columns as a new sequence named Posterior Probabilities (The probability values are
