Creating a line for printing

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

NAME
aerptidx - aegis report index file format SYNOPSIS
/usr/share/aegis/report.index /usr/share/aegis/report.local DESCRIPTION
The report index file is used to store pointers to report scripts, and descriptions of the reports. When searching for a report, the aer(1) command searches down the AEGIS_PATH looking for report.index files, and searching them for the report named. CONTENTS
where = [{ ... }]; This field is a table relating report name to file name. The structure is as follows: name = string; The name of a report. The command line argument naming scheme is used, to provide abbreviatable names. description = string; A brief description of the report. It should not be very long, one or two lines at most. filename = string; The name of the file containing the report script. If a relative path is given, it will be interpreted to be relative to the directory containing the report.index file. SEE ALSO
