in a report I have to translate the following Access var to R:base:
= ([Pnaam] & Space(24-Len([Doktersnaam])) & [Doktersvoornaam])
this has to be sent to a txt-file, where the line-position of the
first character of 'Doktersvoornaam' is 25. So, i have 24 positions
to fill with the name and fill the rest with blanks.
What is the most elegant way to do this in R:base ?
Luc,
You can provide such data as Fixed Filed ASCII format using SPUT
and SFIL functions of R:BASE!
Take a look at the following article with examples to help you
understand the logic of creating a plain text file with fixed
fields.

Hope it helps!
Very Best R:egards,
