printf problem

[subra]

this is the code

printf("%5s","abcd"

is there any way in which that "5.2" can be replaced by a variable so that formatting can be done on the fly?

like

int a=5;
printf("%as","abcd"

subra if you find this useful let me know at vksubra@icenet.net

Yes, use the following code.

int main()
{
int i = 10;
printf("%*S", i, "String"
return 0;
}

This will do.
