pretty printing of records

[Inswitch Solutions]

Surely not the best way but I print records like this:

%% function to expose each record info
getFields(myRecord) ->
           record_info(fields, myRecord);
...

%% the record output in "field......value" format
makeResponse([], [], StrResp) ->
 StrResp;
makeResponse([F|Fields], [V|TValues], StrResp) ->
 Fld = io_lib:format("~p......................", [F]),
 Str = io_lib:format("~20s: ~p\r\n", [Fld, V]),
 makeResponse(Fields, TValues, StrResp++Str).

Hope it helps you, Eduardo
