"%-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".

Have a look at man 3 printf for information about how to manipulate these specifiers. -- Primary Key: 4096R/1D31DC38 2011-12-03 Key Fingerprint: A4B9 E875 A18C 6E11 F46D B788 BEE6 1251 1D31 DC38
