Could you please let us know if this is a typo or it is real, your all Output sample looks fine apart from last digit 198 which comes into a space which is before it? All other digits are filling spaces which are coming after them, so could you please confirm on this?
Also if this is not a typo then kindly do let us know what all are conditions where you need this kind of output please.
Thanks,
R. Singh
Hi R. Singh,
I acknowledge the fact that this point was not clear in my question. Indeed, it is not a typo in my current example (I considered having a blank like after the final: "198").
Cheers,

Dear All,
I have only one word following you answers: "smashing!"
Many thanks to all of you. I tried all the suggested solutions and they all perfectly solve the problem.
(I am not even mentioning the time your methods take compared to my original script. While on a more complex example my script would take a minute, your solutions take a fraction of a second!)
May I make it more complicated?
As I mentioned in the original post, the example I gave comes from a multi-column CSV file using ";" as a separator. The example I gave is the extraction of a given column.
To process this file my idea was to extract columns one by one, apply your suggested solutions to fill up the blank lines and glue the newly generated columns with, for instance: a "paste".
Again, starting from your suggestions, is there a more efficient way to to it?
As an illustration of a CSV file, the idea would be to start for example from:
and after processing obtain:
Any suggestion would be welcome.
Cheers,
Bagvian
