Formating strings

[TonyG]

Just a quick question, how do i format my string output so that the space after the string is left blank?

e.g

 printf("   %5s %25s $%d.%d $%d.%d $%d.%d\n",
               headItem->itemID, headItem->itemName,
               headItem->prices[0].dollars, headItem->prices[0].cents,
               headItem->prices[1].dollars, headItem->prices[1].cents,
               headItem->prices[2].dollars, headItem->prices[2].cents);

The text is red is the maximum length that the string could be but it pads left and not right.
How do i make it pad right?

The manual says:

The flag characters

The character % is followed by zero or more of the following flags:

-

The converted value is to be left adjusted on the field boundary. (The default is right justification.) Except for n conversions, the converted value is padded on the right with blanks, rather than on the left with blanks or zeros. A - overrides a 0 if both are given.

Read the manual? Specifically, the flags entries.
