stdio alignment?

Dec 12, 2009 at 5:28pm

Is there a way in stdio to align my text?

Something like this:

int i = 1;
int b = 21;
printf("num:  %align(i)",6);
printf("num:  %align(b)",6);

That would print out:

num: 1
num:21

Or at least something similar that would have similar effects?

printf ( "num: %2d", i ); or printf ( "num: %*d", 2, i );
where 2 is the max number of spaced to add

you can also use minus symbol to make things left justified. %-3d %-30s
you can also set number of decimals for doubles/floats . %0.3d
