I knew there was a way!  Thanks again Rob!

This works good, but it prints out the string after the spaces like so:

     Name One -                      comment -           hours
     Name Two -               second comment -           hours
   Name Three -                third comment -           hours

The '-' being the beginning of the next string.

Is there a way to have it print before the left over spaces liks so?:

Name One       - comment                      - hours
Name Two       - second comment               - hours
Name Three     - third comment                - hours

Thanks,
