Please consider supporting the "precision" field in the %s printf conversion.
In C, this limits the printed string to that many characters. For example,
printf "%-8.8s" string
would print exactly 8 characters, no matter how long [string] is. And it should
work if the spec is indirect:
printf "%*.*s" 8 8 string
