Dear Perl experts,
I need a better way to display some information.
@names contains NameA, NameB, NameC, and NameD.
@ages contains 353, 32, 2356, and 75.
@sizes contains 44, 212, 32, and 328.
@scores contain 900, 128, 99, and 1000.
If the first element of each array go with each other, as do the second, third, and so on, is there a way to print an output like:
====================================================================== +============== Name Age Size + Score ====================================================================== +============== NameA 353 44 + 900 NameBCG 32 212 + 128 NameC 2356 32 + 99 NameD 75 328 + 1000 ====================================================================== +==============
I know how to do this for the most part; it's just the alignment of values that I'm not familiar how to do ( I want to make the rightmost character in each column line up). Since the names and values may be of different lengths, I run into difficulties trying to make organized outputs like this. Is there a way to print an output in this fashion?
Thanks for any help.
