Subject: Re: create a text file with data custom positioned?

Your example doesn't match either the number of args (5) or their order.

Assuming that you want two field name/index pairs, as suggested by  
your output, I'd use

somefile,printf("%-12s%-8d%-12s%-8d0\n", @fromField, @fromIndex,  
@toField, @toIndex)

Fun stuff,
