Given a text file of many lines, where fields within a line
|
|
are delineated by a single 'dollar' character, write a program
|
|
that aligns each column of fields by ensuring that words in each
|
|
column are separated by at least one space.
|
|
Further, allow for each word in a column to be either left
|
|
justified, right justified, or center justified within its column.
|
|
|
|
<br clear=all>Use the following text to test your programs:
|
|
<pre>Given$a$text$file$of$many$lines,$where$fields$within$a$line$
|

are$delineated$by$a$single$'dollar'$character,$write$a$program

Note that:
|
|
# The example input texts lines may, or may not, have trailing dollar characters.
|
|
# All columns should share the same alignment.
|
|
# Consecutive space characters produced adjacent to the end of lines are insignificant for the purposes of the task.
|
|
# Output text will be viewed in a mono-spaced font on a plain text editor or basic terminal.
|
|
# The minimum space between columns should be computed from the text and not hard-coded.
|
|
# It is ''not'' a requirement to add separating characters between or around columns.
