Query about doing fortran-esque repeat formatting

[Rob Briggs]

Hello,

Is there a way to do a repeat formatting command like in Fortran? Rather
that doing this:

print "%s %-5.3f %-5.3f %-5.3f %-5.3f %-5.3f %-5.3f %-5.3f" %
(parmName, tmp[1], tmp[2], tmp[4], tmp[6], tmp[7],
tmp[8], tmp[9])

Something like this:

print "%s 7%-5.3f % (parmName, tmp[1], tmp[2], tmp[4],
tmp[6], tmp[7], tmp[8], tmp[9])

regards,

Rob

tmp[8], �tmp[9])

Something like this:

print "%s 7%-5.3f % (parmName, tmp[1], tmp[2], tmp[4],
tmp[6], �tmp[7], tmp[8], �tmp[9])

s 1.0000 2.0000 3.0000 4.0000 5.0000 6.0000 7.0000

How about:

print ('%s ' + '%-5.4f ' * 7) % ('text',1,2,3,4,5,6,7)
