Well, that does the trick! Obviously I read over the colon
format description in the manual.
Thank you very much!

I couldn't get your example program to run, but I think you
want the "colon format":
IDL> print, string(indgen(4), format='(F7.2, :, ";" )')
0.00; 1.00; 2.00; 3.00
For CVS data, just substitute a comma where the quoted
semi-colon is in the format statement.
Cheers,
David
