String Formatting [message #64823]

Folks,

Before I re-invent the wheel, I thought I would ask.

I wish to write an ASCII text file with two columns of
text. The first column should be 30 characters wide,
the second column should be 45 characters wide.

BUT, I wish the data in the columns to be *left*
justified, not right justified.

What trick to you use, or what formatting string will
give me this kind of output?

Cheers,

David
