setw

[cannsyl]

ok I have a program and i need the second column in my fout report to line up numbers on the decimal point. I have been playing with this all day and just can't get it. any help would be appreciated. here is what I have

            
            fout <<setw(15)<<left<<"Employee ID: " <<setw(15) <<timeSheet[empHrs].returnid() <<endl;;
            fout <<setw(15)<<left<< "Employee Name: "<<setw(15)<<timeSheet[empHrs].returnname()<<endl; 
            fout <<setw(15)<<left<< "Tax: " << setw(15)<<right<<tax << endl;
            fout <<setw(15)<<left<< "Insurance: " <<setw(15)<<ins << endl;
            fout <<setw(15)<< left<<"Gross Pay: " <<setw(15))<<grossPay <<endl;
            fout <<setw(15)<<left<< "Net Pay: " <<setw(15)<<netPay << endl;
            fout <<setw(15)<<""<<endl;
       

If you need more of the code to help just let me know. I can get the first column to line up but the second just doesn't want to. Thanks so much

Things to try
showpoint Forces a decimal representaion for integer values, number of decimals is dependant on precision
fixed Output in fixed point notation (rather than scientific).
setprecision(int n) Set the precision to n decimal places

You need to include the header iomanip for setprecision(n).
I belive all of the above are things you set once and remain that way until reset (IE you do not need to specify them for every line).
