Re: [Gambas-user] Format Text
Hi, Can you quote the thing you've written? Maybe you missed something or so... Normally it should work with both len() or string.len() Ok, then you said you will only give strings to another program, so the font shouldn't be important. In Basic, the only way of doing what you want will be using Print with a comma: print 22.55, 'the comma adds a tab character chr$(9) Then I remember (was it PowerBasic?) a USING thing where one could do such things with a mask of ### or so. Long time ago, very, very long time ;-) Never used that stuff then. But as you need right-aligned tabs... you will need to spend a little time developing an algorithm that assembles your lines. You mentioned other languages that offer easier ways. Can you give me an example? The easiest way I can think of would be some function where you define the line length and the tabs and then you add the strings to be inserted. If this function just replaces a line of spaces with the inserted strings, it wouldn't be too complicated.

Hm. This would be just my solution. But how can I align something like number like this 22.55 1.22 133.22 Must be like this 22.55 1.22 133.22 Just do it the other way round. If txt$ contains the text: space(30 - len(txt$)) txt$ or better (if umlauts are contained) space(30 - string.len(txt$)) txt$ That should do it... at least if you use Courier. For proportional fonts, you will want to use a drawing space like Printer or DrawingArea and work with measures of text lengths etc. That's quite another world, though it's basically the same way of grouping the columns.

Well i do not know if you got the last message but I have been playing with this. Got it working in Apache with cgi. But i have this problem the example always works. yeah!

Rolf In Gambas 3, you can do that: sBuffer = Space$(80) Mid$(sBuffer, 1) = FirstColumn Mid$(sBuffer, 15) = SecondColumn Mid$(sBuffer, 28) = ThirdColumn ... Print sBuffer Regards, Oh yes, that's very practical. Good to know this exists in Gambas3, but I still use Gambas2, so it's for the future :-) Regards Rolf -- Crystal Reports #45; New Free Runtime and 30 Day Trial Check out the new simplified licensign option that enables unlimited royalty#45;free distribution of the report engine for externally facing server and web deployment. http://p.sf.net/sfu/businessobjects ___ Gambas-user mailing list Gambas-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/gambas-user
[Gambas-user] A postregres question re points
Probably off-gambas topic but, I want to be able to store x-y co-ordinates e.g: create table defaults.temp (pk serial primary key, xy point ); insert into defaults.temp(xy) values (point(1,1)); I can retreive a result as - select * from defaults.temp; which gives (1,1) Now I'm stuck knowing how to put this into a variablee in gambas. Any help appreciated.
