Re: formatted output

Here is one way to left justify, with a string function. It is not as
compact as having a dedicated format code. The value of "length"
should be the same as in the corresponding %s width, if you use
str_print.

ncl 0> x=(/"abc","12345678","vwxyz"/)
ncl 1> length=8
ncl 2> print ("["+str_insert(x,"",length)+"]")
(0) [abc ]
(1) [12345678]
(2) [vwxyz ]

This was inspired by example 5 on the str_insert function page, which
is perhaps a better explanation of how this works.
