How to add blank char (spacebar) to set alignment ?
|
| Code: |
Column1 Column2 column3
XXXXXX YYYYYY
ZZZZZZ AAAAA |
I capture these info to new window, but .....
How can I set XXXXX or ZZZZZ stay at the column2 and YYYYYY or AAAAA stay at column3. It looks like above
Is there any command which is easier than what I did ?
I did use %char( 160) to send blank character.
| Code: |
#say %char( 160)%char( 160)%char( 160)%char( 160)%char( 160)%char( 160)XXXXXX%char( 160)%char( 160)%char( 160)%char( 160)%char( 160)%char( 160)YYYYY

I believe you're looking for the %format function.

%format's the easiest way. Have a play with it:
#say |%format("&20s","hello")|
#say |%format("&-20s","hello")| |
