    'small' tabbing

    Hello there,

    I'm wondering how I could make 2 character tabs in C...

    It's so that if I have, say, the variables a, b, c and d...

    I would like to have something like a*2 , b*2 etc... aligned under a, b etc... in printf. But as you can appreciate a*2, b*2, etc... could be 1 or 2 characters. So I need a tab that is only 2 characters...

    How could I achieve this?

    Thanks

    Have you looked at how printf works? Especially the bit where they talk about "field width".
