Hey all,
Am I brain fading or what? I'm so used to formatting text in tables for
HTML display I can't think of how to do it for a plain text file.
I just need to create a columned table of names and addresses type
stuff... sprintf?
or a little str_pad on each variable...
Sure, that will do it. But isn't there some way to construct formatted
tables similar to HTML?
Are you thinking of a CSV file that you can open in a spreadsheet prog?
Or, do you literally mean a plaintext file with columns? For the latter,
you'd need to measure the max char length of each "column" for every
line in the file, then go back and print each line using str_pad().
