Displaying a string with proper alignment

[realace112]

Suppose I have a long character string like this:

"ID: 4343 Value: $4,234 Method: App;
ID: 23 Value: $350 Method: Val;
ID: 232 Value: $250,000 Method: Seg;"

the fields are all out of alignment. here is what I am trying to make it look like.
"ID: 4343 Value: $4,234 Method: App;
ID: 23 Value: $350 Method: Val;
ID: 232 Value: $250,000 Method: Seg;"

I am getting these values back from xml and just concatenating each value to the string to create this one long string. But I'd like to figure out how to align them properly. Is there any special formatting function I can use? By the way, this is in VBScript. Thanks
