displaying a collection

[Maureen Charlton]

I have the following code to display a collection:

    //method to display collection for testing purposes
    public void display (  )
    {
        Collection eSet = dbase.entrySet( );
        System.out.println("Entry Set is:  \n"+eSet);
        System.out.println("The number of records within the collections is:  "+dbase.size( )  );
    }//end method display

The above code gives me the following output to screen:

Entry Set is:
[NV52SSD=NV52SSD 1003 Ford Mondeo White, QP43SSX=qp43SSX 100
3 Ford Fiesta Pink, ZZ43SSX=ZZ43SSX 0182 Ford Fiesta
Yellow]
The number of records within the collections is: 3

Is there a way of tidying up the way a collection is displayed?
i.e. can you edit it in some way using the \t for tabs like you would normally?

You can iterate the collection manually and append each element to a StringBuffer along with some delimiter in between (tab for example).

James,

You darling! I've spent hours trying to find a way to do this.

Thank you.

Well, I try!
