The format function is indeed very useful - but I don't think it can
be used to solve the particular problem of adding spaces after a
string to fill it out to a specified length.
Or at least - when I was looking at the problem the other day, one
of the alternatives I considered was "format", but I couldn't see a
way to use it to solve this problem :-)
It would work if the "incantation" argument of format() would accept
a variable name, but I can't find a way to make it do that . . .
You can't do format("%<myVar>d", otherVar).
But you can do
put "%" & myVar & "d" into temp
format(temp, otherVar)
Does that help ?
P.S. I still don't see how that let's you solve the initial problem here
:-) :-)
