I don't know how to call this, but is there an algorithm for this kind of sort? Going from input to output.

Input:

Article evident arrived express highest men

did boy. Mistress sensible entirely am so.

Quick can manor smart money hopes worth too.

Comfort produce husband boy her had hearing.

Law others theirs passed but wishes. You day

real less till dear read. Considered use dispatched

Output:

Article evident arrived  express  highest  men

did     boy.    Mistress sensible entirely am         so.

Quick   can     manor    smart    money    hopes      worth    too.

Comfort produce husband  boy      her      had        hearing.

Law     others  theirs   passed   but      wishes.    You      day

real    less    till     dear     read.    Considered use      dispatched

Here is all I wrote, I think honestly this is the peak of my skill... I would appreciate if someone could maybe link a tutorial that is somewhat related to my problem.

int highestnr = 0;

        string lines = File.ReadAllLines(Text, Encoding.GetEncoding(1257));

        for (int i = 0; i < lines.Length; i++)

        {

            string parts = lines[i].Split(seperators, StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries);

            for (int k = 0; k < parts.Length; k++)

            {



                if (parts[k].Length > highestnr)

                {

                    highestnr = parts[k].Length;

                }



            }

        } 

        using (var write = File.CreateText(Results))

        {

            foreach(var something in lines)

            {

                string parts = something.Split(seperators, StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries);

                StringBuilder NewLine = new StringBuilder();

                for (int i = 0; i < parts.Length; i++)

                {

                    NewLine.Append(' ', highestnr);

                    NewLine.Append(parts[i]);

                }

                write.WriteLine(NewLine);

            }



        } 

I know that the code gives spaces only according to the highest word count instead of seperating by columns, that is out of my scope...

an example of solution: i am using easy code to help to understand

        string lines = File.ReadAllLines(Text, Encoding.GetEncoding(1257));

        int maxnbcol = 0;

        List<int> maxlgbycol = new List<int>();

        int maxpaddingbycol;

        List<string> stfile = new List<string>();



        //split each line and put the result in list<string>

        foreach (var line in lines)

        {

            var lineplitted = line.Split(new char {' '}, StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries);

            if (lineplitted.Length > maxnbcol) maxnbcol = lineplitted.Length;

            stfile.Add(lineplitted);

        }



        maxpaddingbycol = new int[maxnbcol];



        //calcul the max padding for each column

        for (int numline = 0; numline < stfile.Count; numline++)

        {

            for(int numcol = 0; numcol < stfile[numline].Length; numcol++)

            {

                var lgword = stfile[numline][numcol].Length;

                if (lgword > maxpaddingbycol[numcol])

                    maxpaddingbycol[numcol] = lgword;

            }

        }



        //apply padding and rebuild each line

        for (int numline = 0; numline < stfile.Count; numline++)

        {

            for (int numcol = 0; numcol < stfile[numline].Length; numcol++)

                stfile[numline][numcol] = stfile[numline][numcol].PadRight(maxpaddingbycol[numcol]);



            var newline = String.Join(" ", stfile[numline]);

            Console.WriteLine(newline);// --> you could call your method to write an output file

        }
