I am trying to make a 'pretty' text table printout. I have variable that holds the size of the width of the column, so how do I make it print the string the way I want it.
printf " %8s ", $_; ## works because I put the 8 in the code but what if the variable $size has the size, how then do I use printf using $size in place of the 8?
