The Question:
Is there a tool to take a file with a bunch of variable length records and
pad each one with spaces to a fixed length or am I looking at dusting off
my very poor skills of perl scripting....
Thanks to all who responded. Got a few sed command and other pointers.
The one that showed the most promise was the dd command with the conv
option. Tried it out and we'll see if it works.
