perlquestion reaper9187 Hi everyone ,<br/><br/> I urgently require some suggestions regarding formatting of text in perl tk's text widget. Can we create a table within the tk widget to display data ..???? I know this may sound silly but my actual problem is displaying text in the widget in a very organized manner.<br/> My problem can be broadly viewed as : <br/> 1. Display text in a table format ( multiple rows, 4 columns ). I use the command <code> $txt->insert('end', "ABC\t\tBCN\t\tNN\t\tARCFN\n"); </code> However, the major limitation for this format is the string size. As soon as the string length for for any of the first three strings exceeds a certain length, the tab spacing is increased making the entry look weird. Is there a better way to do this ??? Thanks .. <br/><br/> I want to have something like : <br/><br/> ABC &nbsp NACA &nbsp AFASFA&nbsp AAA<br/> ABC &nbsp NACA &nbsp AFASFA &nbsp AAA<br/> <br/> <br/> As soon as the string size increases, the pattern looks something like this <br/> <br/> ABC &nbsp NACA &nbsp AFASFA &nbsp AAA<br/> ABCASDA &nbsp &nbsp NACA &nbsp &nbsp AFASFA &nbsp &nbsp AAA<br/> AS &nbsp NACA &nbsp AFASFA &nbsp AAA<br/> <br/> <br/> Please help ,...1!!
