Here's an interesting (to me) problem: I would like to take name, address, and 
telephone number fields from within a FileMaker Pro database and create
"telephone book"-style fields; i.e., given the following example:

           name:  SampleName
        address:  SampleAddress
 city,State Zip:  Anytown, XX  NNNNN
          phone:  NNN-NNNN

I need to concatenate the name and address fields, add dot-leaders, then the
telephone number to yield:

      formatted:  SampleName SampleAddress........................NNN-NNNN

The question I have is how to calculate (and then fill) the number of periods
needed to "pad" the space between the listing data and the phone number. I
have no trouble calculating the length of the formatted name/address, and even
using a "fixed-length" for the formatted listing, am still not able to dynami-
cally perform a "repeat for" function to pad the dots. Any suggestions?
