for some reason i cant get my strings to move over, when i want them to, but the integers will !  i dont know of any other way to do this though...
as an example
what i'm trying to do is read 5 names, from a file, 5 marks, and 5 addresses and line them up in a table as an example John 123 Fake St. 86 Bill 45 Valley Ave 34 and so on... but for some reason, i cant get strings to move over, and all that's readable from files are strings... |

i donno... works for me. It adds extra spaces AFTER the string though.
that would put "tony" right in the center of the screen. |

You need to calculate the correct variable for :x x is not always equal to 20 it is equal to 20 minus the characters before so everything starts on the same line. |

strings and numbers are aligned different, strings will put the extra spaces to the right, numbers put extra spaces to the right eg. put "Hi":20,"bye" gives you 18 spaces (20-# of letters) Hi__________________bye var number:int:=10 put number,"Bye" gives you 18 spaces, the number 10 followed by the word bye __________________10Bye I hope this explains it P.S. 1 underscore (_) equals 1 space, the forum edits out extra spaces |
