Width of Console.WriteLi ne("Size of {0} ", lnSize)

[Roy Gourgi]

Hi,

How would I set the width of lnSize to 6 in the statement

Console.WriteLi ne("Size of {0} ", lnSize);

Furthermore is there a way to combine these 3 statements into 1

Console.WriteLi ne();
Console.WriteLi ne();
Console.WriteLi ne();

TIA
Roy

The \n escape character denotes a new line when in a string... so if you
replaced your 3 Console.WriteLi ne() calls with a single
Console.Write(" \n\n\n") or even just Console.WriteLi ne("\n\n") you will end
up with the same output.

As for specifying the width of lnSize... in what way? The # of characters
being displayed when it is output?

Hi Brendan,

Thanks for the Console.WriteLi ne("\n\n\n").

I solved the width problem by doing this:
Console.WriteLi ne("Size of {0,6} ", lnSize);

Not quite. Console.WriteLi ne uses the current line terminator, as
specified by Environment.New Line. On Windows, that's "\r\n".
