Thread: string format specifier

I just have a question about the string ("%s") format specifier.

is it possible to limit the amount of characters printed with %s? for example, I tried this code, but it did not work, it printed the whole string:

Code:

#include <stdio.h>

int main(void)
{
	char str[] = "blehbleh";
	printf("%4s", str);

	return 0;
}

is this possible, or am I just doing it wrong?

any help is appreciated. thank you in advance.
