James:
A coupe of things.
#1. Pardon my ignorance, but I'm not sure how to use the list where I
found the reply button to e-mail you directly. I could not find a way to
add to the already existing 'thread'. Your help would be appreciated.
The list is just another address you can send your messages too:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
A lot of people just hit "Reply All" if their mail client has such a button. In the case of this message, that would send your answer to me and the list.
#2. The challenge with the use of %20s is that in the next row of records
the names will not be aligned (flush left) with the row above, if the
names are not the same length. This is my dilemma.
Correct, but they will be aligned flush right. For flush left, we just change the pattern a little:
> perl -e 'printf "%-20s %-20s %-20s\n", "James", "Edward", "Gray"' James Edward Gray
Does that answer your question?
