I'm not working on anything specifically now, but the recent thread about "xargs" vs. "-exec" got me thinking about it, I have seen and used column, but (at the time) I was trying to create output in a table like _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ | header1 | header2 | header3 | _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ | value | value | value | _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ so on and so forth. I've seen that done, its fancy and I know that kind of magic is done with printf (among other things) ... have you produced output like that? -- Thanks, --:: Alexander J.
