formatting variables in an echo
 
I decided to make a script that would track all the potions I carry and the reagents I use for my spells. The script works great and it tracks everything correctly. The issue I'm having is small, but its annoying me so I was hoping someone here would have a good idea on how to fix it


Code:
-------------------------Potions and Reagents-------------------------
|                                                                    |
|                      Inventory          BOH          Pocket        |
| Potions                                                            |
|----------------------------------|--------------|------------------|
| Scarlet potions         0       |       0      |      0            |
|                                  |              |                  |
| Gleaming Blue potions   0       |       0      |      0            |
|                                  |              |                  |
| Indigo potions          0       |       0      |      0            |
|                                  |              |                  |
| Amethyst potions        0       |       0      |      0            |
|                                  |              |                  |
| Glowing White Vials     0       |       0      |      0            |
|                                  |              |                  |
| Liferoots               0       |       0      |      0            |
|----------------------------------|--------------|------------------|
| Reagents                        |              |                   |
|----------------------------------|--------------|------------------|
| Webstones               0       |       0      |      0            |
|                                  |              |                  |
| Blue Quartz Stones      0       |       0      |      0            |
|                                  |              |                  |
| Mirrors                 4       |       0      |      0            |
|__________________________________|______________|__________________|


EDIT (MattLofton): added code tags to preserve spacing

I realize that this doesn't line up correctly on here, but it lines up perfectly in zmud. This is an alias that shows me a menu of all the items I have with the number and location (on me, in bag, or in pocket)

When one of the variables goes to 10 or above, it shifts everything over, screwing up the look of the menu. it is an aesthetic problem, but I'd appreciate any input on how to fix it.

Use the %format to control the formatting for that line.

Quote:
#SHOW %format("&10.0n",123456)</NOBR>
will display 123,456 with 3 spaces padding the front

#SHOW %format("&3.0f &s",123,"coins")
will display '123 coins'

#SHOW %format(2,1.23456)
displays 1.23
