Or rather:

sprintf "%${length}.${length}s", $string;

as it is the number following the dot that gives the maximum field width when using the s. You could also left-justify by throwing a - in after the % if you like.

Thanks for the description! `sprintf "%-$args{length}.$args{length}s", ${$args{string}};` [download] Worked just fine for my application. Now, I'm off to bigger and better things. It is Monday after all. _14k4 - webmaster@poorheart.com (www.poorheart.com)	[reply] [d/l]
