title: Fixed width flat file column addition via Excel or Notepad++
body: <p>I have a fixed width flat file with n columns. I need to add a new column at the end that is a concatenation of some of the columns.
  Eg.  </p>
  
  <pre><code>0624 11011 LOCA   
  0624 11031 LOCC   
  0624 11041 LOCB   
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>turns into</p>
  
  <pre><code>0624 11011 LOCA 0624LOCA-ABC  
  0624 11031 LOCC 0624LOCC-ABC  
  0624 11041 LOCB 0624LOCB-ABC  
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I imported file files as text in Excel and was able to generate the column quickly using the concatenate function. 
  But I now need to generate it as the flat file again. How do I do this? 
  Is there a feature in Excel to allow me to generate the sheet as a flat file with spaces. Or can I "transfer" the column to the same file in Notepad++.
  I am looking for a handy keyboard option, else I have to go to SQL.</p>
