My terminal is xterm-color and I'm not sure how to check which version of column I have...

No, it's a real tab :P I got it to print the whole third field by changing to awk -F'\t', but I can't seem to get around the alignment issue. When I remove the color codes, it works. When I add them, it doesn't.

Do you have the word <tab> as delimiter, not a real tab?

| Nov 22, 2013 at 18:49 | comment | added | hek2mgl | How can it be? I've tested with your input? Which terminal type are you using? | |
| Nov 22, 2013 at 18:48 | comment | added | tomocafe | Nope... still prints the TAB instead of aligning. Also, the third field has spaces in it, and this only prints the first word of it. | |

If I understand, that awk command will produce the same output as file I posted above... but I already tried sending that to column and it doesn't align right with the escape codes.

How do you preserve the spacing done by column? From your awk command, it looks like a static number of spaces.
