You can use printf instead of print which supports C style output fromatting.
ex:
grep 'Dept' x.lst |awk -F"Name=" '{printf (" %-25s %-10s %-15s \n",$1,$2, $3) }'

if any one knows how to do please maily me : kkodava@maxis.com.my
Why? You posted your question here. Right? So the answer also goes here. Maybe lot of other peoples benefit from it. And this gives an oppertunity to other peoples to add more info or *correct* what I have said. For a lot of us, IMHO, this is how we learn things.
Thanks

Mail::Mbox::MessageParser::Grep(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation Mail::Mbox::MessageParser::Grep(3)
NAME
Mail::Mbox::MessageParser::Grep - A GNU grep-based mbox folder reader
SYNOPSIS
#!/usr/bin/perl
use Mail::Mbox::MessageParser;
my $filename = 'mail/saved-mail';
my $filehandle = new FileHandle($filename);
my $folder_reader =
new Mail::Mbox::MessageParser( {
'file_name' => $filename,
'file_handle' => $filehandle,
'enable_grep' => 1,
} );
die $folder_reader unless ref $folder_reader;
# Any newlines or such before the start of the first email
my $prologue = $folder_reader->prologue;
print $prologue;
# This is the main loop. It's executed once for each email
while(!$folder_reader->end_of_file());
{
my $email = $folder_reader->read_next_email();
print $email;
}
DESCRIPTION
This module implements a GNU grep-based mbox folder reader. It can only be used when GNU grep is installed on the system. Users must not
instantiate this class directly--use Mail::Mbox::MessageParser instead. The base MessageParser module will automatically manage the use of
grep and non-grep implementations.
METHODS AND FUNCTIONS
The following methods and functions are specific to the Mail::Mbox::MessageParser::Grep package. For additional inherited ones, see the
Mail::Mbox::MessageParser documentation.
$ref = new( { 'file_name' => <mailbox file name>, 'file_handle' => <mailbox file handle> });
<file_name> - The full filename of the mailbox
<file_handle> - An opened file handle for the mailbox
The constructor for the class takes two parameters. The file_name parameter is the filename of the mailbox. The file_handle argument is
the opened file handle to the mailbox.
Returns a reference to a Mail::Mbox::MessageParser object, or a string describing the error.
