<div>
But that means that the first ends up like this:<br />
<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Text &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;10<br />
&nbsp; MoreText &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;10<br />
<br />
I think what needs to be done is to use setiosflags(ios::left).<br />
<br />
thanks

Hello all,<br />
<br />
I have a simple question regarding how to perform some formatting in c++. I know you can use setw(xx) or width(), but when i have the following case below, things get out of hand:<br />
<br />
Example:<br />
<br />
Text &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;10<br />
MoreText &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 10.<br />
<br />
Basically i want to able to line things up, so in the above example i would like the number 10 to be lined in the same column as the one before, but this does not seem to be happening. I've currently got code like this:<br />
<br />
cout &lt;&lt;&nbsp;&quot;Text&quot; &lt;&lt;&nbsp;setw(10) &lt;&lt;&nbsp;10&lt;&lt; endl;<br />
cout &lt;&lt;&nbsp;&quot;MoreText&quot; &lt;&lt;&nbsp;setw(10) &lt;&lt;&nbsp;10&lt;&lt; endl;<br />
<br />
Is their a way round this? I know the reason why this is happending, but dont know of a way to control formatting of this nature.<br />
<br />
Thanks<br />

Formatting I/O

C++ is an intermediate-level general-purpose programming language, not to be confused with C or C#. It was developed as a set of extensions to the C programming language to improve type-safety and add support for automatic resource management, object-orientation, generic programming, and exception handling, among other features.
