This is a possible sed centering solution, but them y'know, I'm a sed loonie..... Note that the very first substitution trades any tabs for 4 spaces, because there wont be a single *correct* way to interpret a tab after the centering operation has taken place.... =================== #!/bin/sh sed ' s/ / /g s/^ *// s/ *$// : fill /.............................................................................../!s/.*/ & / t fill ' $@ =================== ~~harald E.
