I have two functions, one which produces messages like Starting initialization...
and another which checks return codes and outputs "Ok"
, "Warning"
or "Error"
. However, the output that is produced is of the different length:
Starting initialization...Ok.
Checking init scripts...Ok.
How can I get something like this:
Starting initialization... Ok.
Checking init scripts... Ok.
You can specify width on string fields, e.g.
printf("%-20s", "initialization...");
and then whatever's printed with that field will be blank-padded to the width you indicate.
The -
left-justifies your text in that field.
