If you need PASS to be left justified with the spaces after, then the format string would be %-8s

what about between the Lower limit and upper limit and the upper limit and test value??  Do I put a empty string on the format into a string then use the %5s??

You really should mark Gerd's message #2 as the solution and not mine.  He presented the idea of how to do it.  All I did was answer a couple followup questions you had.
