in thread Best way(s) to process form data into fixed-length values?

Minor nit, but I think the two comments on field width (20 and 25 characters wide) should perhaps be 10 characters wide.

I didn't know you could use asterisks in sprintf formats like that. Neat :)

Cheers,

    That's to demonstrate why one should never comment code. :)

    I originally used wider fields, but the line was too long so I narrowed the fields and that invalidated the comments. I'll leave the them like that as a permenent reminder of how not to write comments.
