perhaps our own limited assistance stems from your including only a snippet of the overall use. Looks like it is an eval of contents grepped out of an input file, which might be of use in explaining things...

In any case, note the following application of the %s modifier:

Code:
printf "%s\n"     hello 
printf "%3.3sp\n" hello 
printf "%3.2s\n"  hello hello hello
