It's not Vim related, but since you seem to be using Unix utilities to begin with, you might be interested in nl. nl -ba -nrz -w6 Actually, just plain nl will probably work because it uses a tab separator and 6 space padding by default, but the above command is a little closer to what you were asking for.
