Re^2: Textview format, help please !

Hi, thanks for the reply. I gave Text::Table a go, but I still end up with output that looks like this:

1  SA             STRIP+ASSEMBLE     1     122.00
2  LOS             LABOUR ON PARTS SUPPLY     1     1200.00
3  FBS             FAN BLADE SUPPLY     1     1200.00

I just used

my $tb = Text::Table->new();
$tb->add($linenum,$kode,$waarde,$entry_qty,$entry_price);

Can you give me some examples how to use the 'align =>' and/or is_sep functions?

Maybe you've had a long day, but I gave Text::Table a try and got good results. Try this: `#!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; use Text::Table; my $tb = Text::Table->new( "ID", "DESCRIPTION", "QTY", "PRICE" ); $tb->load( [ "1 los", "LABOR ON PARTS", 1, '760.00' ], [ "2 sa", "STRIP", 1, '450.00' ], [ "3 av", "VALUE", 1, '2000.00' ], ); print $tb;` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

That works, partially, the problem is it prints out the table as it should be in the cmd window, but the same text in the textview are scrambled :(	[reply]

peokai: I don't use Tk, Glade, Gtk, et. al., so this is just a wild guess. You've probably already considered this, but just on the chance that you didn't: Are you using a proportional font in our text window? A proportional font causes just the symptom you're describing because each letter may have a different width on the screen. Using a monospaced font (Courier, for instance) would fix the problem if that's the case. ...roboticus	[reply]

Maybe your problem is that you want to display ASCII art with a proportional font? Try to use a monospace font instead, then all the columns should align neatly.	[reply]
