This is how I understand it:

At least with this logic each line would have equal amount of items and would "make sense" that way. I guess the hardest part here is that some of the values are aligned left in their column while most are aligned right.
You are right the text i am looking is created from a qbasic code using the print using command, so if the length of a value is bigger than the characters gives this error (%) or there is no space between the different variables in the second case i highlight in values. But in any case i don't need those values as they are outside the range of values that i should have, that's why i am trying to create a code where i 'll put the "right" values in a new files and the deleted in another so as to examine them later.
