From: Michael Pope Date: 2008-07-16T13:51:07+09:00 Subject: printing columns I'm trying to print some data to the terminal in columns and haven't seen a way to do it properly. I've tried "fred".center(80) to try and center the text at column 80 but when I start entering data before "fred" it starts to push "fred" over to the right. Is there a way to print at a specific column regardless of what text is on the same line before hand or after? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
