If there are not too many entries (not thousands or more), you can use print as-value to fetch all data as array, to reduce the number of [get] commands to be executed, combined with the \r trick from @Amm0 : :put "Name\t\t\t\t\tModified name\t\t\t\tOrig-mac\t\tCurrent-mac\t\tMTU\tL2MTU" :foreach d …

The \r trick, when combined with going one character before and putting a <space>, avoids creating stuck strings, but at most only truncated ones... :wink:
