Well, are you asking about input or output?

The console uses fixed width font, so to align something to the right you will probably just have to figure out how many spaces to add between the characters on the right and the ones on the left. That should only take some pretty simple math.

It's output

I tried this to make ptr->count organizing, but not working

Code:

---

cout <<setw(30-(ptr->data.size()))<< ptr->data <<setw(30)<<ptr->count

I don't think you need to use setw for this. Why not just calculate the number of spaces required and output them in a loop?
