| Ok.. i am running the SWR 1 Fuss that i got from this site..
Its running on windows, compiled with cygwin..
I was wondering if there is a way to code in something that
will remove a "space" character from a line whenever one of
the values in that like gets one digit bigger and likewise
add a "space" when the number gets smaller
Spacecraft/Vehicles/Members/Funds
93 75 387 10983 <-- This is how i want it
93 75 387 10983 <-- This is how it is
I know i can make it the way i want it by manually going in an
and removing a space.. but i would like it to keep my general
form without me having to tamper with it every time the number
gets another digit added ot removed from it..
I searched the forums for a topic that covered this but could
not find any. If this is a repeat topic please accept my
apologies and bear with me or refer a link to the older topic
Any help would be greatly appreciated.. Thanks |

| | What you can do is check the man page for sprintf ( I think ), this will give you instructions on how to use printf formating, to assign a definite amount of space that a number will take up, so that regardless of how many numbers(79 or 123), it will format them out to always show 10 characters wide |

| Yeah, it's in the man page for sprintf.
Format of the format string
Under that section of the manual. |

| What you need is something like this:ch_printf(ch, "%10d %10d %10d %10d\n\r" ships, vehicles, clan->members, clan->funsd);
The man page will give you how and why this works, though I am terrible with sprintf from memory, so I may be incorrect, but it should be close to that. You can change the 10 to however many spaces you want it to take up. |

| Actually, looking at the stock code in do_clans, this is what shows up: ch_printf( ch, " &WDivision Leaders Spacecraft/Vehicles/Members/Funds\n\r");
ch_printf( ch, " &O%-20s %-10s %-10s %-10s %-2d %-2d %-3d %ld\n\r",
"Main", clan->leader, clan->number1, clan->number2, clan->spacecraft, clan->vehicles, clan->members, clan->funds ); The only issue that I can see is that the leaders, number1, and number2, when only 20 spaces are included.

| The %-2d needs to be bigger, eg. %-3d.
That is allowing for a 2-digit number. The - changes from left to right justification, or vice-versa. |
