Further,$allow$for$each$word$in$a$column$to$be$either$left$

Note that:
# &nbsp; The example input texts lines may, or may not, have trailing dollar characters.
# &nbsp; All columns should share the same alignment.
# &nbsp; Consecutive space characters produced adjacent to the end of lines are insignificant for the purposes of the task.
# &nbsp; Output text will be viewed in a mono-spaced font on a plain text editor or basic terminal.
# &nbsp; The minimum space between columns should be computed from the text and not hard-coded.
# &nbsp; It is ''not'' a requirement to add separating characters between or around columns.

For the general situation, a utility has no knowledge of the maximum number of fields in a record nor the maximum length of a record, still less knowledge of the sizes of the fields in the records. Decent file systems (for example, that of the Burroughs 6700) make available the MaxRecordLength of a file when a file is opened, but many systems are less than helpful. It is possible to open a file as UNFORMATTED and then simply read sequences of binary data to be interpreted to taste, but in the ASCII world that means deciding on record markers being CR, CRLF, LF, or LFCR and I have encountered files with mixtures... In any case, a file with a fixed record length will likely not contain any such markers.
 
The plan here is to read the file to find out. But, given that the maximum record length ''is'' unknown, reading records into some storage area is problematical. Some systems can create a "string" variable via the read statement that will be of the proper size, but older Fortran works always with storage sizes fixed at compile time. However, after F77 started being extended, a common extension was the Q-element in FORMAT statements, which instead of interpreting the content of a record, reports instead the number of characters yet unread in a record. Thus, a statement like <code>READ(in,"(Q)") L</code> will read a record of input and the first action is to place in variable L the number of characters yet to be processed of that record. Since the content of the record is not being transferred, there is no need for a CHARACTER area of sufficient size to receive all of it. Indeed here, nothing is read. As for the LF/CRLF/LFCR/CR issue, with FORMATTED input the file system makes its decision and presents record content without incorporating such out-of-context data.
 
When data are being read into a CHARACTER variable, once the receiver is filled subsequent data in a long record will be ignored, and if the input record was smaller than the variable, trailing spaces will be supplied to fill out the variable. It is for this reason that the read statement is <code>READ (IN,11,END = 20) L,ACARD(1:L)</code> so that, ''on-the-fly'', the length of the record is determined, and then only that number of characters are placed in ACARD with no (possibly large number of) trailing spaces being appended. Naturally, subsequent inspection of ACARD will have to be careful not to look beyond character L, where detritus from previous usage will languish.
 
Once the main programme has ascertained the maximum record length, subroutine RAKE can be invoked with this as a parameter. From F90 on, as introduced by Algol in the 1960s, functions and subroutines have been allowed to declare arrays of a size specified by a variable and so the "surely big enough" issue is reduced. Thus, given a maximum length of M, a record containing M field delimiters can represent M + 1 fields, all null. The last field's delimiter is the end-of-record, so one more. It is also possible to use ALLOCATE(...) to request storage of suitable dimension for a variable within a routine, but that introduces verbiage. So, a programme can request just enough storage for its particular tasks and thereby possibly succeed on a problem too large for an always-big-enough storage scheme, but on the other hand, the fixed storage allocation scheme doesn't suddenly run out in the middle of a job.
 
Accordingly, a second scan of the records of the text file can be made, with a view to ascertaining the maximum widths for the first, second, etc. columns. This is done by storing in array C the positions of the delimiters in the text, so the content of a field ''i'' on a record will be starting with C(I - 1) + 1, and ending with C(I) - 1, - that is, the first character following a delimiter to the last character before a delimiter. In other words, the delimiter is not a part of the field's content. For convenience in this, C(0) = 0, since the first field is number one, and the last field's delimiter is one past the end of the record. Having an array start with non-default bounds is a feature of F90, similarly the array assignment that tracks the maximum field widths in array W. The specification makes no call for leading or trailing spaces in a field's content to be trimmed; if it did then two sets of fingers would be used to mark the first and last position of each text. Happily, there is also no call to recognise quoted texts, that might contain delimiter characters that are not delimiters.
 
Equipped at last with knowledge of each column's maximum width, yet another pass can be made through the file to produce the output. A feature of the format code A''w'' is that text is aligned to the right within the width of ''w''. So, concoct a FORMAT text with suitable A''w'' entries, also augmenting the width by one for each column to meet the requirement that each column's content is separated from the others by at least one space. This concoction is easy enough, and could be improved by taking advantage of the "factoring" that format statements allow so that for example "A7,A7" can be replaced by "2A7", and further, bracketing of sequences is allowed and with repeat counts for them also. Alas, finding the minimum sequence is in general a very difficult problem, so no attempt is made. As for "sufficient storage" for the FORMAT variable, a two-digit width specification seems sufficient so each field's format code would be "A''dd''," - four characters. Only later Fortran allows the I0 format code, meaning that an integer will be written only with sufficient digits, not a fixed "sufficiency" of digits. A pity the code for this isn't just "I" rather than "I0" which implies a width of zero.
 
A difficulty now arises in terminating the format text with the closing bracket. This is done by searching for the sequence ", " and replacing the comma by the closing bracket. This is present only because format 21 specifies <MF> as a repeat count. If it were say 666 instead, after the last W value was written the format processing would cycle back to its next repetition, write out an "A", then stop since there is no W value to write via the "I0" format code. Thus, the format text ends ",A" and the INDEX fails to find the desired ", ". It could instead search for ",A " (just ",A" would stop on the second field's format code) but ", " seems clear. The <MF> usage is standard only for recent Fortran. Formatted output opportunities are many and options numerous. Other schemes could be used, such as the write statement specifying the text literals in its items, but that would require an implied-DO output list and it seemed nicer to be able to use the array specification W(1:MF) instead.
 
Given a FORMAT text that produces output in aligned columns makes it easy enough to meet the other requirements. To cause texts to be aligned left, append sufficient spaces to each output text, and for centred text, half that number. This relies on the special intrinsic function REPEAT(text,n) returning a varying number of characters - CHARACTER functions have to return a ''fixed'' number of characters, until the standardisation of varying-length strings in F2003 ''et seq''. Earlier Fortrans lack the REPEAT function, but its effect can be gained via something like CHARACTER*66 SPACE, where SPACE is set to spaces, and SPACE(1:N) is used where REPEAT(" ",N) is desired. And if messing with variable FORMAT is unwanted, the REPEAT scheme can be used for the right-justified output also.

Every line of output starts with a space, and if it were to be sent to a lineprinter, this would be used as the carriage control character (meaning, advance one line then print the rest) - the first column does not need to be set off by one space from the previous column, but rather than devise special treatment it is spaced off anyway. The free-format output statements also start with a space. Output:

Here, we rely on J's built-in formatting mechanism for boxed arrays, with spaces to separate the columns.
 
(J's [[j:Vocabulary/Foreigns#m9|9!:n]] series of conjunctions queries (even) or sets (odd) session parameters. 9!:6 queries the box display characters, and 9!:7 sets them. Here, we use spaces with 9!:7 (discarding the blank rows). Meanwhile 9!:17 determines whether box contents are left justified, center justified or right justified, and we also use that. There's some additional discussion of this approach on the [[Talk:Align_columns#J_solution|talk page]].)

The following procedure solves the problem. It takes the string to be operated on as input, and an optional alignment parameter, which defaults to centred alignment. The aligned text is returned, as a string, which can then be printed.
<syntaxhighlight lang="maple">

AlignColumns := proc( txt, align :: { "left", "right", "centre" } := "centre" )

Blow apart the text into a list of words, find max len of any word, calc how many words will fit on a 80 col line, format all words into a bit bucket line at a time. Formatting is "%-ms" or "%ms" for left & right justify (m is field width), calculated for center. fmt is the string format method or center calc function, depending. Where string formatting can be used, it would be better to format all words in a line in one go but the code would be longer.
