I think you mean add a new column to the existing lines?
try something like
line = line + '%25s' % newdata
> 2. how can I make data formatting string '%25s' intiger (in this
case 25) a variable?
Just create the string outsoide the formatting line:
fmtString = '%%ds' % width
I think it should be '%%%ds' % width
s = fmtString % data
