Format text in epp

[Helmut Schneider]

Hi,

is there a way to format text in epp? Something like

a 100
abc 20
defgds 30

Thank you!

<%- | Hash $postfixTransport
| -%>
# This file is managed by Puppet, don't edit it by hand.
# All changes will be overwritten!

<% if ($postfixTransport) { -%>
<% $postfixTransport.each |$domain, $target| { -%>
<%= $domain %> <%= $target %>
<% } -%>
<% } -%>

EPP has access to all operators, functions, and types available in the current Puppet environment, both built-in and module-provided.  Among Puppet's built-in functions is sprintf, which is a wrapper for Ruby's Kernel::sprintf, which in turn is inspired by C's sprintf.  It can perform the kind of formatting you're looking for, perhaps something like this:

<% $postfixTransport.each |$domain, $target| { -%>

<%= sprintf("%-10s %4d", $domain, $target) %>
<% } -%>
