Format Control Strings in GE textNumber function??

[Just4Fun]

I am not sure if this is the correct place to post this question. It isn't very advanced, but it is 'C' related. Here goes:

------------> 1. I have two actors: num1 & num2.
------------> 2. Each actor generates a random number between 1 and 100.

------------> Problem: I would like to have the numbers display using right justification.

So... the console display for the two actors would look something ike this:

-------------->33
------------> 100

As it stands now, I get a left justification (GE default?)

------------> 33
------------> 100

This is such a simple thing to do in 'C' with printf. Any ideas? Can this be accomplished in GE?

Just use the sprintf function. If you want display the variable count, try this:

Code: Select all

sprintf(text, "%5d", count);

The result will be:

Code: Select all

    1
   10
  100
 1000
10000
