I have a program that prints out pdf files.
I have a list of 30 Bulk centers.
Right now I print out one bulk center per sheet, each sheet has 3 spots to print the center info.
It kind of looks like this:
1 1 1 < this is one page
2 2 2 < this is one page
3 3 3 < this is one page

I am altering the program so the user can choose how many to print for each bulk center.
I need to change the output to look like this:
1 2 5 < this is one page
1 3 5 < this is one page
1 3 5 < this is one page
2 4 6 < this is one page


They want to be able to cut the paper into 3 columns then take column 1 and put It on column 2 and column 2 on column 3.
By having them choose how many bulk center the output could change.
So I need to keep it in order and I am not really sure how to do it.

I would just like to write it out to a text file with some sort of special character separating them and have each row in the text file represent a printed page.

1:2:5
1:3:5
1:3:5
2:4:6

anybody have an idea?
