    quick question on strings

    Hi Everyone,

    Just wondering how can I set the field width during printing. For e.g. how do I print something like the following in C++

    printf("%-24s,%-24s %u\n", mystr, myint);

    Tx !!

    Should be like

    Code:
    std::cout << std::left << std::setw(24) << mystr 
                   << ",  0x" 
                   << std::hex << std::right << std::setw(8) << std::setfill('0') << myint
                   << std::endl;

    don't forget the showbase flag/manipulator.
    Is your question related to IO?
    Read this C++ FAQ article at parashift by Marshall Cline. In particular points 1-6.
    It will explain how to correctly deal with IO, how to validate input, and why you shouldn't count on "while(!in.eof())". And it always makes for excellent reading.
