Hi guys,
I have a file containing different lengths of strings.
I want all of them to be in the same length. For example 10 characters.
Most of them are already in this length, so I want to fix those that are less than 10 to 10 by padding.
for example,
1234567890
1234567890
12345678
1234567890
so, I want the third string to be:
12345678NN
The others are OK, so I don't want to touch them..
Any idea of doing it in a simple way?
sed or awk ?
Thanks,
Pap
