LPAD in UNIX
Hi,

Can we do Lpad in unix using awk or sed, I have a pipe delimiter file in which 4th column should have length of 17 characters, but in the source files the value for these are not consistent some values are coming as 8 characters and some are coming as 15 characters ..etc..Please suggest if there is any command in awk or sed which can see the length of 4th column size is less than 17 characters than it has to append zeros till the length is 17 charterers and print rest of the line with the lpaded values.

Thanks.

Regards,
Gaur
