Finally a question that I may have an idea about.
You could try using the Tab ansi character #09
i.e. memo1.lines.add('Col1'+#9+'Col2'+#9+'Col3');
try it, I haven't tested this theory but

Subject: [DUG]: Building formatted strings
Hi
Another newbie question.
I'm wanting to concatenate 3 strings together into TMemo lines
such that the line will print as 3 columns. Each of the strings
is of variable length. Is there a lazy way of achieving this?
In MBasic (about 100 years ago) you used to be able to LSet or
RSet a string into a fixed length container string.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Mark
