Option 'j' --> Filename Field to Specified Width.  Normally QTGrep outputs the filename of the file being scanned with each record containing a match. The width of the field containing the filename is normally the exact width of the filename and thus could vary with each file scanned.  If the user desires to have the filename field of the same width for all files, e.g., for sorting purposes, this option allows the user to specify the desired width.  The width to be specified follows the normal QTGrep method of specifying values for options.  If a zero field width is specified, the field width will revert to the length of the filename for each file.  The following command lines will specify a width for the filename of 15 characters: 
   -j(15)
    -j(15
    -j 15
For more information on specifying a value for options, please refer to the '?=' option.

The order of output is as follows:
  1. Filename ('h' option)
  2. Expression Number('N' option)
  3. Match String Index ('I' option)
  4. Match String Length ('I' option)
  5. Record Number ('n' option)
  6. Match Record or String ('M' option)
This is a local option and may be turned on or off for separate files as desired.
