Package: bsdmainutils
Version: 11.1.2+b1
Starting with:
Los_Angeles: Tue Jan 21 06:00 PM 2020
Chicago: Tue Jan 21 06:00 PM 2020
Taipei: Tue Jan 21 06:00 PM 2020
We pipe it through column -t:
Los_Angeles: Tue Jan 21 06:00 PM 2020
Chicago: Tue Jan 21 06:00 PM 2020
Taipei: Tue Jan 21 06:00 PM 2020
What we simply really want is:
Los_Angeles: Tue Jan 21 06:00 PM 2020
Chicago: Tue Jan 21 06:00 PM 2020
Taipei: Tue Jan 21 06:00 PM 2020
The only way to get it is via:
column -t | perl -pwle 's/\S\K / /g;'
because for some reason column(1)'s minimal output separation is hardwired at
two spaces, with no variable to make it e.g., 1. P.S., no value of -c helps.

util-linux' column does this just fine, with -o " ".
Note that -c does not change the *separator* width.
