alignment of info

[newtarge]

I have a situation where I'm getting the file sizes from a directory using du -ks and I split the line into numbers and directories. In the variable representing the numbers they are all left aligned and I want them to be right aligned. how do I do this ?

Perl should just have scalar values and you should be able to align them on output, if you split on whitespace that is.

 

[newtarge]

This variable contains a list of file sizes.


ex.

123
24
2
93
90032
110

I want it be

123
24
2
93
90032
110

Use sprintf()

It will allow you to right justify the data.
