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.
