fprintf formatted output

[Magix]

Hi,

I want to use fprintf to write to a file. My question about the formatted
output
How can I format so that I can allocate certain width for each %s
(Left-aignlied) ?
Example:
fprintf("%s %s %s %s, name, age, city, status);

fprintf("%-s %-s %-s %-s, name, age, city, status);
Left alignes the output
See format specifiers of these. Should be available in one of your C
documents.

Hi there,
To show you how it works I give you a code that prints to the standard
output. You can replace stdout with the name of your file. Number 10
indicates the desired width and the negative sign means it's left adjusted.
S is for printing a sequence of chars.
#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
printf("This is main\n");
fprintf(stdout, "%-10s%-10s\n","Hamed", "Ghorbani" );
}
Sincerely,
Hamed

Consult your documentation for fprintf.

fprintf(stdout, "%-15.15s%-15.15s%-12.12s%-10.10s\n",
name, age, city, status);

fprintf(stdout, "%-*.*s%-*.*s%-*.*s%-*.*s\n",
15,15,name, 15,15,age, 12,12,city, 10,10,status);

Hello

To get columns use the format

fprintf(stdout, "==%-10.10s %-10.10s==\n","12 3456789012","12 34");

it breaks the to long string on 10 positions

output will be:
==1234567890 1234 ==

the number 10 can be any number, for more details look in every good C
book.
you get all the details by printf. fprintf, sprintf are just the same
only desternation is different.

greetings Olaf
