TuFix converts comma or tab delimited files into fixed record length files for easier viewing. After conversion, the corresponding fields in each record will all start at the same column position.

At a minimum, you must provide TuFix with an input file, an output file and a delimiter. You can use -t or -k to specify tab or comma delimited files, or use the -d option to specify another delimiter.

For example, TuFix file.tab file.fixed -t

You can use the -s option to add a separator/filler between fields. For example,

    TuFix file.tab file.fixed -t -s"   "  (adds 3 spaces between fields) or
    TuFix file.tab file.fixed -t -s"|"    (adds a vertical line)
