Aligning decimal points in columns

Question

In my program I am writing I cannot seem to get the output to be formatted in the proper way. I need the columns to have the salary values aligned by their decimal points, by they are aligned to the left instead.
Like this:
Employee 1 2110.45 7-05-2004
Employee 2 55.09 7-05-2004
Employee 3 1100.00 7-05-2004
This is the code I am using to print:
public void printData() throws IOException {
          //Variable to read data from the text file
          BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new FileReader("EmployeeData.txt"));
        String str;
          Employee emp = new Employee();
          //Loop to read data from text file, alter salary, and print to monitor
          //Loop while there are lines remaining to read in text file
        while ((str = in.readLine()) != null) {
               //Variable to break up each line in text file by name, salary, and date
               StringTokenizer st = new StringTokenizer(str, "|");
               //Loop while there are more elements in the current line
               while (st.hasMoreElements()) {
                    //Retrieve name, salary, and date from the current line
                    String sName   = st.nextToken();
                    String sSalary = st.nextToken();
                    String sDate   = st.nextToken();
                    //Call function to calculate salary increase
                    double val = (new Double(sSalary)).doubleValue();
                    sSalary    = emp.calculateRaise(val);
                    //Print line to monitor
                    System.out.println(sName + "\t" + sSalary + "\t" + sDate);
        in.close();
}

If anyone wants to know how to align decimal points I
found the answer here:
http://leepoint.net/notes-java/25data/25strings/30conve
sion/54num2string.htmlThat is not a true way to align decimal points. It is only a way to right align text. If your decimals are irregular with some being .0, and others .00 or .000 this will not work. But, it will probably work for your problem.
