    notice how the numbers in the second column are alligned

    I don't want to print like this

    @Max - re-edit this post to get the effect you want with code tags around the formatted text

    Hmmmm........ it seems as if extra white spaces are automatically trimmed.

    Max, I know what you're asking, and you should try using the '\t' escape character.

    odd...someone played with my original post??!!!??

    basically what I am trying to do is change this c code into c++

    if (k%2==0) printf("%*s", -LINEWIDTH/2,t[k]);
    else printf("%s\n",t[k]);

    It prints values in two columns all numbers in the second column are alligned exactly under each others i think it is called left justified.

    how do I do that?
