Want space instead of tab

[Anonymous Monk]

I have an output that goes to an email but I want data to be seperated by spaces and not tabs. Any suggestions?? I tried the "\s" but that didnt work.

$multfields .= "$data\t";

.....

print MAIL <<"EOF";
....mail to and from stuff here....

$multfields
EOF

How about:

$multfields .= "$data ";

-Nitrox UPDATE: I see you found your answer as I was typing. :-)

Do you need column alignment? How about using :-

$multfields .= sprintf('someformat', $data);

Hope it helps

Sorry Perl Monks I dont want to waste your time on this. I just put in a space and it works. My mistake for not seeing this right away.

$multfields .= "$data ";
