ap-bot | Accounts Payable Bot using Azure Bot Service | Bot library

I'm not sure how to dynamically adjust characters in a function I'm using to write to a console where there are strict locations necessary in addition to dynamic scalability that you could get from 'format table', but I'm looking to do things a little differently so I can get away from needing an file.

I've put in a 2nd item on the list only for reference to see the context of the issue, I've found a way to draw an entire array or pull from a hash table with this method, but I'm trying to find a way to not need so many predefined character lists, etc. For instance, the two $top and $bot arrays, I'm aware that can be done with a couple of the suggestions that were listed... just not sure how to get the words to display in the format correctly, and if the characters exceed a certain threshhold, then it'd have the trailing dots, like format-table kind of does... Here's the context. It's a bit more verbatim to my actual code.
