The reason your text doesn't line up is probably because you have a proportional font being used in your list box.

To display tab-columnated data you will need to instruct the listbox to use a non-proportional font.

    The text is non-proportional. Each charachter represent the same length. So it is still something else. The secone problem is true. The my is not good for $tabstop. Sorry I take my words back. The problem was indeed that the font was proportional different even tough I didn't look that way. It looks like Courier is one of the only fonts non-proportional. Took me looking for ever to find that out while the solution was at hand. Thanks. It sometimes is in the details
