Hi, All!
I need to fix the width of some strings padding with leading spaces if
necessary. I wanted to use printf but I don't know if you can put a
variable in the format part the the printf statement. For example, if
I wanted to use the following format type:
printf OFILE "%7s\n", $str;
but instead of '7' have a variable such as $w there, how might I do
this? Or is there a better function for what I'm trying to do?
Thanks,
Aimee Cardenas
