Hello,

i've problems with format an perl. so for e.g. i have a format in format.pl like this: 

format HEADER =
Menge Art.nr. Bezeichnung Preis(€) Gesamt(€)
_____________________________________________________________________
.

format INHALT =

@<<<< ^<<<<<<<< ^<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< @>>>>>>>>> @>>>>>>>>>
$menge,$nr,$text,$preis,$summe,
~~ ^<<<<<<<< ^<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
$nr, $text
.

format FOOTER =
_____________________________________________________________________

Warenwert: @>>>>>>>>>
$gesamt
.

[download]
In my mainscript i have include this and do the output like this: 
$~ = "HEADER"; write;

$~ = "INHALT";
foreach (0..$#bestellung) {
($text, $nr, $preis, $menge) = split(/\|/, $bestellung[$_]);
$summe = sprintf("%.2f", $menge*$preis);
... irgendwas ...
write; 
}

$~ = "FOOTER"; write;

So, what i want is to route the whole write() into a string (e.g. $output). i've found in perldoc a section to do this with the accumolator var ($^A) but i've now idea how to do this for my e.g.

Any ideas .. thx for you help!
