We have a process that has been working fine but on
this file our awk print command is having trouble.
The input file has no new line characters.
Our commnad:
cat <input> | awk '{printf("%-200s",$0)}'  > <output>

We expect the input and output to be the same but our
output has extra spaces at the end causing our
application to fail.

If we did this:
cat <input> | awk '{printf("%-80s",$0)} > <output>
It would work but anything over 80 then our output is
not the same as our input.

Please don't ask why we do this.
Any ideas would be apprieciated.
