Thread: tab is the key

Code:

sprintf("%10s");

will set a minimum string length of 10 chars. It will align on the right; to align it on the left, use "%-10s". But this still won't work if you're using a serif etc. font.

You can't easily get columns to line up with serif fonts. I would use Courier New or Courier.

I figured that out years ago.
The problem is that i want to align my text with serif, arial, ...
All the strings are the same size, that's not a problem
