<TITLE>How can I format rows of irregular sized strings to print in columns?</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>I wrote a little program to look for graphics files and tell me the image size and the file size of each file. The data prints out like this:</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>(292, 240) 35638 defender.bmp</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>(1024, 768) 2359350 evolution3.bmp</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>(78, 76) 17990 GRID1A.bmp</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>How can I make it so that it looks more like this:</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>( 292, 240) 35,638 defender.bmp</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>(1024, 768) 2,359,350 evolution3.bmp</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>( 78, 76) 17,990 GRID1A.bmp</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Below is the code. I am not really a programmer, so it probably looks clunky to you guys!</FONT>
