I need to fix the width of some strings padding with leading spaces if necessary. I wanted to use printf but I don't know if you can put a variable in the format part the the printf statement. For example, if I wanted to use the following format type: printf OFILE "%7s\n", $str;Yes you can. printf OFILE "%*s\n", $varlen, $var; If you have any questions and/or problems, please let me know. Thanks. Wags ;) David R.

Or is there a better function for what I'm trying to do?
