Thank you...now how about Reports?

[Barry Levine]

Firstly, a big "Thank You" to the folks who suggested the "value" 
function for my question about evaluating the contents of a field 
containing a mathematical formula. Problem solved!

Now, how about "reports"? What I mean by that is some kind of formatted 
report I can generate from a delimited-text source file. Here's one 
solution that comes to mind:

1. Create a stack with a non-scrolling field that is no more than the 
width of the printable page.
2. Set tabs to something like 72 pixels (=72 points=2").
3. Get the file's data and parse through it adding tabs and returns as 
necessary.

One problem I see right off the bat is that if any of the data "columns" 
are wider than what I expect, I might add an extra tab which would throw 
off the rest of that line's alignment.

I appreciate any advice from the RevKahunas.

Regards,

Barry
