162 Fixed Width Values Text File Text (Structured) In a fixed-width text file, data is contained in columns that are of a fixed width (meaning that each column contains a certain number of character positions). Data that does not fill the width of the column is padded with filler characters, which are usually spaces or zeroes. Sometimes, your fixed-width text file uses special characters to visually delineate one column from the next.
