 from man column(1)

     -c      Output is formatted for a display columns wide.

Try:

almust...@orphalese:~$ echo aaa bbb | column  -c 20


expected result (17 spaces):

aaa                bbb

actual result:

almust...@orphalese:~$ echo aaa bbb | column  -c 20
aaa bbb

Confusing. Or do I misunderstand the purpose of column(1)?


Possibly. Try

<snip>
ls -l|sed 1d|column -c 100
<pins>

or

<snip>
ls -l|sed 1d|column -c 200
<pins>

or something along that line.
