Thread: Formating output

Sure. Put a number immediately after the decimal point:

printf("\n%15.12s", string), will give you a max of 12 char's output, in a 15 char wide field.

In a number, the 12 shown above will give you a maximum of 12 digits after the decimal point.

Edit: Too slow, foiled again.
