How can I set width in masm

[Guest_imported]

hi, I am printing a word and I would like to know how to
setwidth in masm; intel processor. Is there such option?
If not is there technique that will do the work.

for example, I am printing the name
John Hancock, but I want to setwidth to 5 spaces before I print.So it will look like this.
John Hancock

thanks in advance

What do you mean setwidth? Just what EXACTLY does it do? "Information has a tendency to be free. Which means someone will always tell you something you don't want to know."

This is a work-a-round but worth a thought!

in masm, print your code to a text file.

then...

using a text editor set the left margin to 5 spaces!

maybe I've lost the plot but I use notepad to write my code in the first place and I find the TAB key works just fine.

Maybe, you have written code to print the word??? - try a subroutine to print 5 spaces before the first word on each line

I DONT KNOW! its really hard guess work when the questions are so vague!

Now I understand why AmkG has a hard time writing crappy responces LOL
