I'd first look at what are white characters. Are they spaces, tabs, something else?
Code:
cat -A A.txt

or
Code:
cat A.txt | od -c

if your system doesn't support -A option.
Then
Code:
sed 's/  */    /g' A.txt

where you substitute the first two spaces with your white characters that are in the file.
//============================================
Alternatively, if you have only 4 columns, here is an awk + printf solution:
Code:
awk '{printf("%-10s%-10s%-10s%-10s\n",$1,$2,$3,$4)}'  A.txt

Change 10 to how wide you want the columns.
