Thread: left justify

Well, assuming you are using std::strings, try:

Code:

cout.setf(ios::right, ios::adjustfield);
cout << "\n\n\n" << setw(20+addr1.length())
     << addr1;

This will add 20 spaced before the start of whatever you are trying to output.

I mean using string variables instead of char*, like

Code:

string thisString;   // this is good
char[30] thatString; // this is not

strings have the length() method, which is how I would implement what you are trying to do.
