not sure how quick and simple, but the lenght of the data in $var2 is in
${#var2}...so you could say $padding = $column_length - ${#var2}, and then
print out $var1, $padding, $var2, etc.

I'm writing a script to display variable length information in a report.
I'm having trouble lining up the variable length information in nice and
neat columns. Is there a quick and simple way for me to do this? Thanks.
