Column alignment Posted by hycheah (hycheah), 17 October 2006 How do I print out columns and align them nicely?Eg. huiyan 100 nate 50 katherine 80 which should be printed out like this: huiyan 100 nate 50 katherine 80 I tried print "$name\t$savings\n"; but it doesn't work. So does printf "%s %5d\n", $name, $savings; I don't want my data to looked scattered. Help!! Posted by admin (Graham Ellis), 17 October 2006 Try replacing the %s which means 'a string with %20s, which means 'a string with a minimum width of 20 character positions' and is space filled. Change the number 20 to suit what you need. Make it %-20s if you want to left justify the text within the 20 positions.This page is a thread posted to the opentalk forum
