Not sure what you would use this for... But here goes:
<cfset intLength = 150 />
<cfset intCounterHeight = Len( intLength ) />
<cfset arrOutput = ArrayNew( 2 ) />
<cfloop index="intI" from="1" to="#intLength#">
<cfif (intI MOD 10)>
<cfloop index="intR" from="1" to="#intCounterHeight#">
<cfset arrOutput[ intR ][ intI ] = " " />
</cfloop>
<cfset arrOutput[ intCounterHeight ][ intI ] = (intI MOD
10) />
<cfelse>
<cfset strValue = RJustify( intI, intCounterHeight ) />
<cfloop index="intR" from="1" to="#intCounterHeight#">
<cfset arrOutput[ intR ][ intI ] = Mid(
strValue, intR, 1 ) />
</cfloop>
</cfif>
</cfloop>
<cfset sbOutput = CreateObject( "java", "java.lang.StringBuffer"
).Init() />
<cfloop index="intR" from="1" to="#intCounterHeight#">
<cfloop index="intC" from="1" to="#intLength#">
<cfset sbOutput.Append( ToString( arrOutput[ intR ][
intC ] ) ) />
</cfloop>
<cfset sbOutput.Append( "<br />" ) />
</cfloop>
<pre>#sbOutput.ToString()#</pre>

Subject: ASCII ruler
Hi all,
I've Googled for two days but just cannot find anything to do what I
need and for some reason my brain is having a block on writing the code
that actually works...
Essentially, I have a need to show an ascii ruler of arbitrary length on
screen the output would resemble this.... (I hope it doesn't wrap)
1 1
1 2 3 9 0 1
1234567890123456789012345678901234.....7890123456789012345678901234.....
..
My brain is looking at nested loops with MOD 10 calculations but the
output just turns into a mess resembling my brain which is slowly
turning into mush.
If anyone can point me in the direction of a decent algorithm in *any*
language that would do this I would be eternally grateful!
Paul
