formatting problem

Hi

I am trying to write to log file but the formatting of string is not
properly aligned in log file result

The results looks some thing like this

OK move.xml Successful
OK AppUser_ifrUsers.asp Successful

Here i have hardcoded OK & Successfull but the file name "move.XML" and
"AppUser_ifrUsers.asp" are obtained at when application is running.
The format expected is

OK move.xml Successful
OK AppUser_ifrUsers.asp Successful

Please can some one help me out regarding this..Its a bit irritating to
get like this
Thanks & Regards
Gopal

There are a few ways to do this, one way (just waking up so someone
jump in if there is a more elegant solution) could be:
private string LogLine (string logEntry)
{
string OK = "OK";
string SUCCESSFUL = "Successful";
string line = String.Format ("{0} {1, -30} {2}", OK, logEntry,
SUCCESSFUL);

return line;
}

Example call:

string line = LogLine ("Test log entry");

The format specifier {1, -30} will pad the second string (logEntry)
with 30 characters.

On my blog I link to thiis excellent summary of string formatters:

Hi Nick

The proble has been solved except for the issue that wherever i am
using this format, i keep changing the alignment wherever i am loggin
the contants

Example at one place i am calling
strLogContent = String.Format ("{0,-22} {1, -30} {2}", STR_FAILED,
strMoveXMLFileName,
STR_LOG_FAILED);
At another place i am calling the with different alignment as

strLogContent = String.Format ("{0,-20} {1, -35} {2}", STR_FAILED,
strMoveXMLFileName,
STR_LOG_FAILED);
So should i then keep changin the alignment or can we have fixed
alignment.

I would really appreciate if you can help me solve this issue

Regards
JP

What is the problem? You get exactly the formatting that you specify. If
you don't like the formatting, change it.

Put the formatting string in a constant, and use the constant in the
formatting statements.
