- I'm using Visual BASIC Standard Edition v2.0 and I've run into
- the following dilemma. I'm trying to create an array of string by
- concatenating two other values together, but would like the two
- columns of data to each be left justified. However, the font that
- I am using contains letters of different widths. For instance,
- assume an array of strings called Names$() and an array of integers
- called Num%() contain the following made-up data:
-
- Names$(1) = "Samuel" Num%(1) = 15
- Names$(2) = "Richard" Num%(2) = 3
- Names$(3) = "Al" Num%(3) = 221
- Names$(4) = "James" Num%(4) = 54
- Names$(5) = "Bob" Num%(5) = 11
-
- I would then like to create a second string array called Results$()
- that contained the following:
-
- Results$(1) = "Samuel 15"
- Results$(2) = "Richard 3"
- Results$(3) = "Al 221"
- Results$(4) = "James 54"
- Results$(5) = "Bob 11"
-
- My problem is that since the characters in MS-Windows aren't all
- the same pixel width, the column of numbers is not vertically lined
- up correctly when I print the results. Is there a way to get the
- second column of numbers to be lined up? Thanks,
- Andy Klein
