How can I dispaly Spaces in expression part of <%= expression %> ASP directive

[leninv]

I have the following code

<%
    if i = 0 then
    pindnt = string(level*2," ")
 %>
     <td><% = pindnt &  recs(i) %></td>

Using string(level*2," ") I am calculating the number of Spaces I want to display before recs(i) value. But I am not getting the spaces displayed before recs(i) value.

If I change the space character in string(level*2," ") to dot (i.e, ".") then the expression is string(level*2,".") and with this change I am able to see dot's before recs(i) value based on level value I pass.

ex:suppose recs(i) = 5000
level output
0 5000
1 ..5000
2 ....5000
3 ......5000

I need space to be displayed instead of dots. Can anyone help me to figure out the problem with my code.

Please make sure you are posting in the correct forum next time.

Did you try:

<%
     if i = 0 then
     pindnt = string(level*2,"&nbsp;")
%>
<td><%response.write(pindnt &  recs(i))%></td>
