Hi,
There is no header. Lets say, column 247 contains 5characters, it needs to be moved to column 242 (which is empty).
I just need to move column 247 to 242. Pls help.
Thanks, JM

A column doensnt have a header and is generated from a different program. That column is mis positionned and should be moved to column 242, which is empty. It is displayed in column 247. It contains a maximum of 5 characters. If possible to move, should have no problem with column 242 because it is empty.
Pls advice.
Thanks, JM

Im just thingking, but i dont know hot to implement it in a batch file, would it be possible to just go to the column number?
Example, ill go to column 242, delete the next 5 spaces, so column 247 will be moved to column 242?
If possible, please help me implement this logic using batch file.
Thank you.

Assuming "column" means "character position" (untested):

echo !a:~0,242!!a:~246!) >output.txt
