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