Hi Alex, sprintf with left alignment might be a start:
cat(sprintf("%-7s| %-12d| %-5d",paste("City",1:3,sep=""),(12345)%/%10^c(1:3),c(2,5,54433)),sep="\n") #cat has also a file option, see ?cat. but acutally your given output doesn't look like a conventional table but much more like this: cat(sprintf(paste("%-7s| %-",12:14,"d| %-5d",sep=""),paste("City",1:3,sep=""),(12345)%/%10^c(1:3),c(2,5,54433)),sep="\n") cheers.
