Well it is only a 2 line program and he did ask nicely after all, if you
begrudge him it then feel free to not answer, righteous indignation
rarely helps anyone.

Dear OP...

Put the following 2 lines into a file and save it as spacer.py

import sys
print ' '.join([e for e in open(sys.argv[1], 'r').read()])


Then open a terminal window and 'cd' to the same folder you just saved
the spacer.py file in. Type...

python spacer.py inputfile.txt > outputfile.txt

This will run inputfile.txt through the space adding program we have
just saved and then 'pipe' the output of that into a new file outputfile.txt

Hope this helps,


Roger Heathcote.
