Might include an example in the usage for left/right padding or something since the average user may not be wading through man 3 sprintf (that part of the man page is a bit obtuse). SPRINTF(:%10s:|hello) results in : hello: SPRINTF(:%-10s:|hello) results in :hello : or something like that. I messed up at first since I am used to coding printf(":%10s:", var) with a comma and a space, I started seeing leading spaces when I did SPRINTF(%s, hello). Fun. :-) Like the patch and will be very useful for me. Thanks. By: Tilghman Lesher (tilghman) 2006-05-05 13:01:35 There is one other form that you may find useful, and that is: SPRINTF(%-10.10s|somethingreallylong) which results in "somethingr" This is useful for fixed width fields. The same specification works for shorter fields, too: SPRINTF(%-10.10s|foo) which results in "foo ". By: Joshua C. Colp (jcolp) 2006-05-17 19:01:18 Added to trunk as of revision 28016! Thankies! | ||
