    Er...I really don't understand what you are asking but http://www.cplusplus.com/ref/cstdio/printf.html has helped me out alot with formatting. See the example program at the bottom of that page.

    its easy

    printf ("%3d", eg );

    prints the number 3 spaces to the right

    so u could say

    printf ("%10d",eg )
    and it would print it 10 spaces to the right

    Code:
    example1)   .
    example2)          .
