For format specifiers, text is right-justified by default withãprintf. You may need to specify a field width though (I don't remember for sure off the top of my head) You could use something like this (with a field width of 4):ããprintf("\1h\1c%4d \1h\1c%4d", tlogons, firstOn);ããAnd if you're curious, if you really wanted to left-justify those, you'd use aã- after the % sign:ããprintf("\1n\1c%-4d \1h\1c%-4d", tlogons, firstOn);ããAlso, as a side note, the 2nd \1h\1c is extraneous in the string you'reãprinting, as the string already has the high and cyan attributes at that point.ããNightfoxãã---ã þ Synchronet þ Digital Distortion: digitaldistortionbbs.comã
