Hello again Smilie

I test some awk code, i think i get the idea how to manipulate the date, however, I can't quite get it the way i want
Here is the txt file that i have:

Code:
$ cat test.txt
000702687       Abigail Adams   200
000724961       Andrew  Thompson        400
000710505       Anthony Esteves 20

And the code and output for the code is below:

$  awk '{printf("U%-20s %-0s,%-10s AD100100%-0s00\n", $1, $3, $2, $4)}' test.txt

U000702687            Adams,Abigail    AD10010020000
U000724961            Thompson,Andrew     AD10010040000
U000710505            Esteves,Anthony    AD1001002000

How do i get the colume where "AD...." start to align? the last name doesn't have fix width so it's hard to specify how many character do i need.
Thanks

SHMIDCAT(1)						     Shared Memory Trampoline						       SHMIDCAT(1)

NAME
shmidcat - Copies stdin/file to a shared memory block for gtkwave(1) SYNTAX
shmidcat [VCDFILE] DESCRIPTION
Copies either the file specified at the command line or stdin (if no file specified) line by line to a shared memory block. stdout will contain a shared memory ID which should be passed on to gtkwave(1). EXAMPLES
To run this program the standard way type: cat whatever.vcd | shmidcat The shared memory ID is emitted to stdout. shmidcat whatever.vcd | gtkwave -v -I whatever.sav GTKWave directly grabs the ID from stdin. LIMITATIONS
This program is mainly for illustrative and testing purposes only. Its primary use is for people who wish to write interactive VCD dumpers for gtkwave(1) as its source code may be examined, particularly the emit_string() function. It can also be used to test if an existing VCD file will load properly in interactive mode. Note that it can also be used to redirect VCD files which are written into a pipe to gtk- wave(1) in a non-blocking fashion. AUTHORS
