I have a weird situation, it reminds me (many many years ago) of using COBOL and pic statements to align data.
I have to build a file containing the followingdata , to pass to GAMS (Mathematical Modeling Engine)
JPYUSD EURUSD GBPUSD
JPYUSD 1.000000000 0.02016 0.113887000
EURUSD 0.020160000 1.000000000 -0.039177000
GBPUSD 0.11388700 -0.0391770 1.000000000
The GAMS barfed, because the Column header are not aligned with the data under it (Exactly aligned, even the "-" has to be aligned) . I could spend allot of time messing with the alignment, using padding and sprintf statements.
However, I just wanted to check to see if anyone knows a better way of handling this, maybe templates?
Your Thoughts?
