I'm not sure I quite understand the way you are attempting to format output
but I achieved a similar thing using the printf and/or sprintf command. It
allows you to format a string with space padded text, specific decimal
places, left/right justification, etc, etc. This allows you to line
everything up in certain columns, etc, etc.
