Hi Edgar,

Squeak's text printing facilities do not support "stored tabs". You can use #padded:to:with: to fill up contents with spaces or other characters:

'foobar' padded: #right to: 25 with: $.
'12' padded: #left to: 3 with: Character space.

Then use a monospaced font (e.g. via "TextStyle defaultFixedFont"), too. :-)

Best,
Marcel

Hi Edgar,

I made a flexible utility for printing collections of objects to a
stream in a Fixed-Width columnar format.  They don't use tabs, but
spaces, so they always work when viewed in a fixed-width font.

It is available in the "MaBase" package on SqueakMap.  To use, create
an instance of MaFixedWidthReport, then use its 'building' methods to
define the report, then send:

    myFixedWidthReport write: aCollection to: aStream

Browse references to the class for an example.
