simple FORMAT question for the experts [message #61230]

Hi,

I know this is a simple question for some, but for me who has not yet
become a master in formatting syntax I can't seem to get it right. I
am outputting a large number of files and on one line of those files,
I output a list of string values. The challenging part is that for
each file the list changes so the number of elements with a comma
separating each one and I would like to have one consistent format
string (if possible). I know I can combine strings with the number of
elements of the array but prefer not to go that route.

Here is a sample:
array = ['a','b','c','d','e']
print, 1S, 'Text', array, FORMAT='(I02, " ", A0, " :", A0, :, ",")'

I want this as a result:
01 Text :a,b,c,d,e

But I get this:
03 Text :a,
00 b :c,
00 d :e

Can anyone suggest where I'm going wrong?

Thanks,
Ryan.
