Hi All

I need to create a report and need some help on the formating side. In this report, I gather information from 2 different files and produce the line. I was looking at having a variable for the full lenght of the line with spaces and using the substr to put the right fields in place.

Is there a better way for doing this ?

Thx

J

Please explian the problem in detail

or still better

please paste a aprt of ur files and the output u want

ok. I have the following files :-
File 1 File 2
item1 item3
item2 item5
item4

I want to produce the following output :-
Date In Out
xx.xx.xxx item1 item3
item2 item5
item4

Hope this is clear.

The formating did not come out correct.
____Date_____|________IN_______|____OUT
xx.xxx.xx _____|_____item1_______|___item3
_____________|_____item2_______|___item5
_____________|_____item4_______|________
