Re^2: Counter && print issue

Thx for your input..i`ve tried what you said and now it gets like this :

                      WAA[Ok]
          Longname.......[Ok]
       Onotherlognname...[Ok]
                   Smalln[Ok]
[download]

And I wanted to look like :

WAA                      [Ok]
Longname.......          [Ok]
Onotherlognname...       [Ok]
Smalln                   [Ok]

Use a negative field width to get it left-aligned (yes, it's non-intuitive, but `printf` has been that way for a long time): `printf "-26s %4s\n","WAA","[Ok]";` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]
