assuming it follows printf syntax: "%60s" makes it take at least 60 characers (right justified). "%-60s" makes it take at least 60 characers (left justified). "%60.60s" makes it take exactly 60 characters (right justified or truncated). "%-60.60s" makes it take exactly 60 characters (left justified or truncated). so try "%60.60s".
