Bill,

I agree with your solution.
I will divide 116 caracters in two lines, at the right place that don't cut a name.
Your right saying that the lenght of names of centraj stars is not uniform; each one follows the former, only separated by a coma.
Thanks

Bertrand

Hi Bertrand,

I don't see a quick, easy fix to this problem... except to
suggest that instead of using something like:

~r1096 116 %s\n

you could use

~r1096 99 %s
~r1195 17 %s\n

That is, show the first piece of the text, then the remaining
piece of the text. Depending on the layout of the names, you might
be able to show them on two lines:

~r1096 59 %s\n
~r1155 59 %s\n

Though I notice that 116/14 isn't an integer, so I'll assume the
names don't occupy uniform columns in your data file.

-- Bill
