Hi

I have a problem with printf/sprintf

Basically I have this code:
printf "%-50s %10.2f\n", $item, $price;

This code prints a line that is 61 chars long with the Item's name on the
Left and Price on the right.
However, I want to make it variable width based on either screen width, or
user input:
ie,

print "%-$Ws %10.2f\n", $item, $price;

Obviously, this does not work. How do I code it to work like i want it?

Dan
