in reply to CLI formatting

Did you write the code that generated this output? Are you wondering how to write the text out in a nice way? If so, then do  perldoc -f format and  perldoc perlform.

This should give you a lot of information about how to format the text.

I see you are trying to output fixed number of dots between fields..you want to assign a fixed length between fields and add dots based on that..

If you are on Window$ you can also create a HTML table fairly quickly and then display it on the browser..

If you are looking for something to capture that output you showed us and format it... check out what jpeg listed

cheers

    @sk thanks for the help yes that output is from my code and i am trying to display it on the screen (command line) in a nice readable way much like the command top does on linux. i ll check the perl docs for that. if there is any other formating module avaiable do tell me.
