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.

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.
