Printing data out in columns?

[StormMedic85]

Anyone have any suggestions of how to print numerical data out to a file in neatly organized columns? I've seen it done with a for loop, but I'm thinking formatted print. Any ideas?

Thanks!

Hello Storm,

Do you mean like this for example?...

1   11    444
2   111   555
3   12    444
4   122   555
5   13    444
6   133   555
7   14    444
8   144   555
9   15    444
10  155   555

you can always tab seperate them
print "$data\t$data1\t$data2";

if you search I believe you will find that you can use sprintf or printf to format it for you also

Thanks for all the suggestions! A current method I tried that seems to work is something along the lines of doing it within a for loop...

for ($i=0; $i<$size; $i++) {
print "$pressure[$i]\t$temperature[$i]\t$rh[$i]\t$uwind[$i]\t$vwind\n";
}
