Re: sqlplus with formatted output?

No Need...

do this

set linesize 120
set pause off
set pagesize 0
column id format a4
column test1 format a10
column test2 format a10
column test2 format a10
blah..blah..blah...

Then
you should get:
id test1 test2 blah
---- ---------- ---------- ----------

1    bla         bla         bla
2    super    nice       bad

Why:
the column definitions set the size of the column and, by extension, the # of dashes under the column name it should format ok..just change the column specs to the max you need...
