To help you get on your way, try:
Code:
echo 'a|b|c|d|e|f' |awk 'BEGIN {FS = "|";column_length[0]=6;column_length[1]=3;column_length[2]=2;column_length[3]=3;column_length[4]=4;column_length[5]=5}
{for(i=1;i<=NF;i++) printf("| %-" column_length[i-1] "s",$i); printf("|\n")}'

Code:
| a     | b  | c | d  | e   | f    |


--
Note: instead of
Code:
printf("| %-" column_length[i-1] "s",$i)

,you can also use:
Code:
printf("| %-*s", column_length[i-1],$i)
