i'm trying to create a form for my script output so my manager can understand it. i've been able to get the data i want printed to the screen but it looks something like this:

    URI                         Date               Seconds         Fil
+e Size
-----------------       ---------------------      -------         ---
+------
/profileQuery           [05/Apr/2004:16:31:06         1               
+885

    URI                         Date               Seconds         Fil
+e Size
-----------------       ---------------------      -------         ---
+------
/profileQuery           [05/Apr/2004:16:31:59         0               
+869

    URI                         Date               Seconds         Fil
+e Size
-----------------       ---------------------      -------         ---
+------
/profileQuery           [05/Apr/2004:16:32:53         0               
+873

    URI                         Date               Seconds         Fil
+e Size
-----------------       ---------------------      -------         ---
+------
/profileQuery           [05/Apr/2004:16:33:47         1

i'd like it to look more like this:

    URI                         Date               Seconds         Fil
+e Size
/profileQuery           [05/Apr/2004:16:36:31         1               
+869
/profileQuery           [05/Apr/2004:16:37:25         1

i've tried using the block formatting for the form but its not working. my question is.. does my input have to be in block format before this will work?

In reply to Easy question i'm sure about formatting by mvam

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
