Print Format

[joriveek]

Hi,

I want to print a string with defined width left trailed; How can I do
this?

Example: Print ("%05d%3s", &test1, test2[i]);

say test1 = 23
test2[i] = Hi

It prints like 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
0 0 0 2 3 H i
But I want like this:
It prints like 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
0 0 0 2 3 H i

How can I do this?

Thanks

Please note that "printf" is not spelled "Print" and that the '&'
preceding test1 is wrong. say test1 = 23
test2[i] = Hi It prints like 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
0 0 0 2 3 H i
But I want like this:
It prints like 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
0 0 0 2 3 H i
But neither of those is what it prints, is it?
Those extra spaces may make things clearer to you, but they get in the
way of a clearly stated question.
How can I do this?

#include <stdio.h>

int main(void)
{
char rule[] = "0000000001111111111\n"
"1234567890123456789\n", teststr[] = "Hi";
int testnum = 23;

printf("%s%06d%13s|\n\n", rule, testnum, teststr);
printf("%s%06d%-13s|\n\n", rule, testnum, teststr);
return 0;
}
0000000001111111111
1234567890123456789
000023 Hi|

0000000001111111111
