skipping spaces in a sprintf format

Lynn McGuire <lynnmcguire5@gmail.com>: Oct 28 05:33PM -0500 Is there any way to skip spaces in a sprintf format ? In Fortran, one puts 10x to skip ten spaces.   I am using the following right now:   // WRITE (OUFILE,1700) current_page // 1700 FORMAT (67X,'PAGE:',I8) sprintf (termin1.outbuffer, " PAGE:%8d", prglab1.current_page); outwri (termin1.outbuffer);   Thanks, Lynn

"%-*s" will pad on the right.

In fact, we have been doing that for around 30 years now. I even wrote my own comparison tool to cut down on the noise as the benchmarks produce 400+ MB of text output that we analyze before each release.   Sincerely, Lynn McGuire

It has been ported to many platforms over the years. I ported it to the CDC 7600 in 1976 IIRC. It is currently at version 16.15. This is the first conversion to another software language though as it was pure Fortran until 1994.   Thanks, Lynn
