    Formatting A Text File (the hard way) [resolved]

    Ok, I have a text file that will have lets say three columns. The headings will be a certain length but the data varies. I want all the columns and data to line up to the left. I think the best way is to get the length of each data point and then add spaces. I need help with sending spaces like in vb char() something like that. any ideas??

    I use string.padleft and string.padright to insert the number of blanks I need.
