I'm building a monospaced text output and it works fine with pack("A23",$var iable) for example that makes sure the variable valuse takes up 23 spaces. If the string is less than 23, it fills the rest with spaces.
BUT
now i have dollar amount which of course want to align right (pad the spaces on the left)
any ideas?

Nevermind, found str_pad(). I don't think what i need can be done with pack().
Can't believe I forgot about that.
If anybody is curious its str_pad($variab leStr, 30, " ", STR_PAD_LEFT);
or STD_PAD_RIGHT for left-aligned text.
Thanks...to me i guess

You're welcome.
I hate the text limit being 20 characters.
Truly hate it.

I need to display several columns of numbers in a textbox. I wish to
display the columns with the decimal point position aligned vertically.
I have found that the # digit placeholders do not reserve the spaces for the
number if the number of digits are fewer than the number of placeholders.
My simplified example: included within a loop such that it displays two
columns

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:
g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp
Here is the code in...
