format string in javascript

Question

Is it possible to achieve this in javascript?

Here is the format:

1 ITEM1      9.00   0%  9.00
1 ITEM-GET01 8.00   12% 5.00

I would like to create a receipt like layout. I'm using backbone.js so there will be models and collection involve.

Also if it were on a table can I use jquery to get the data from the table tr then have the result just like what is posted above?

I was able to read about sprintf but I don't think it it is the one I need. any ideas?

UPDATE

I'm trying out sprintf here is what i've come so far

var result = sprintf("%d %-s %.2f %d%% %.2f", model.get("Qty"), model.get("Itemname"), model.get("Price"), model.get("Discount"), model.get("ExtPrice"));

result is:

1 Item1 1.49 0% 1.49
