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
-----------------       ---------------------      -------         ---

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

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post, it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":


  • Posts are HTML formatted. Put <p> </p> tags around your paragraphs. Put <code> </code> tags around your code and data!
  • Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.
  • Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.
  • Please read these before you post! —
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags:
    a, abbr, b, big, blockquote, br, caption, center, col, colgroup, dd, del, details, div, dl, dt, em, font, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, hr, i, ins, li, ol, p, pre, readmore, small, span, spoiler, strike, strong, sub, summary, sup, table, tbody, td, tfoot, th, thead, tr, tt, u, ul, wbr
  • You may need to use entities for some characters, as follows. (Exception: Within code tags, you can put the characters literally.)
            For:     Use:
    & &amp;
    < &lt;
    > &gt;
    [ &#91;
    ] &#93;
