output display alignment !!

Hi
I'm trying to display the output of my script in a friendly viewable format.

it's something like this..
i have this while loop... in which i get some records from a file where fields are delimitered with a pipe. so i'm extacting each field and replacing the pipe with a \t, tab !!..
cat result.txt | while read line
do
sno=`expr $sno + 1`
echo $sno"\t" $line | cut -f 1,2,3,4 -d "|" | tr '|' ' \t '
done

The problem is I have a column header which i'm using to display at the output. but the display is going wayward.

i want it like
------------------------------------------
SNO FIELD1 FIELD2 FIELD3 FIELD4
------------------------------------------
1 -43242 xxxx qwer aaaa
2 1234 yyyy rrrr rrrr
3 345 er ert eer
------------------------------------------

but now i'm getting
------------------------------------------
SNO FIELD1 FIELD2 FIELD3 FIELD4
------------------------------------------
1 -43242 xxxx qwer aaaa
2 1234 yyyy rrrr rrrr
3 345 er ert eer
------------------------------------------

so when ever the minus/hipen sign appears in second field this problem is happening... can you tell be a better way out pleaseeeeee???

XVisibilityEvent(3X11)						     MIT X11R4						    XVisibilityEvent(3X11)

Name
       XVisibilityNotifyEvent - VisibilityNotify event structure

Structures
       The structure for events contains:

       typedef struct {
	 int type;		/* VisibiltyNotify */
	 unsigned long serial;	/* # of last request processed by
				    server */
	 Bool send_event;	/* true if came from a SendEvent
				    request */
	 Display *display;	/* Display the event was read from */
	 Window window;
	 int state;
       } XVisibilityEvent;

       When you receive this event, the structure members are set as follows.

       The type member is set to the event type constant name that uniquely identifies it.  For example, when the X server reports a event to a
       client application, it sends an structure with the type member set to The display member is set to a pointer to the display the event was
       read on.  The send_event member is set to if the event came from a protocol request.  The serial member is set from the serial number
       reported in the protocol but expanded from the 16-bit least-significant bits to a full 32-bit value.  The window member is set to the win-
       dow that is most useful to toolkit dispatchers.

       The window member is set to the window whose visibility state changes.  The state member is set to the state of the window's visibility and
       can be or The X server ignores all of a window's subwindows when determining the visibility state of the window and processes events
       according to the following:

       o    When the window changes state from partially obscured, fully obscured, or not viewable to viewable and completely unobscured, the X
	    server generates the event with the state member of the structure set to

       o    When the window changes state from viewable and completely unobscured or not viewable to viewable and partially obscured, the X server
	    generates the event with the state member of the structure set to

       o    When the window changes state from viewable and completely unobscured, viewable and partially obscured, or not viewable to viewable
	    and fully obscured, the X server generates the event with the state member of the structure set to
