    use gotoxy or other text spacing functions.

    in graphics.h there is centre_text,vert_dir etc etc..

    thanks for the reply bud but...i am the newbiest of the newbies...i dunnos what you just said =)

    im trying to create a program where it asks you to input anything and it will print of the screen what you just typed but instead, its aligned or justified to the right...

    also i read another topic where it says you can't or have to set a number of spaces to justify something to the right. is that true?

    I read that you can have anything a certain number of spaces somewhere... let me find it... here it is
    The manipulator to set something a certain number of spaces out it setw(# of spaces out)
    in order for setw to work, you need to include <iomanip.h>.
    here's how it would work
    #include <iostream.h>
    #include <iomanip.h>
    int main(void)
    {
    int a, b, c;
    cout <<"please enter three numbers with different numbers of digets\n";
    cin >>a>>b>>c;
    cout <<"your numbers were, in reverce order:\n" << setw(5)<<c<<"\n"<<setw(5)<<b<<"\n"<<setw(5)<<a<<"\ n";
    return 0;
    }
    well, very simple, but I think this is what you were looking for.
