Thanks, that seems to work. Still it amazes me how Julia, being a language made for numerical calculations, does not natively support a simple mechanism to print/write large bunches of numbers. I've been in the numerical world for 20+ years and I know printing lots of numbers is something you get on a daily basis. I know now the formatting package can help on that (thanks :), what I do not like is the idea of having to install every time a new package to get added functionality. I understand there are things that have to go to external packages because of its limited or specialized use, but come on... printing number os definitely not one of those. Just my 2cents :)
