Odd variable length format specifier question.

[TonyM]

Hi,
Can someone help me convert the following C code to the C# equivelent?
Basically, we're trying to use a variable (iIndentLevel) to change the
number of spaces in the string.

sprintf(buff,"% *sEntering: %s\r\n",iIndent Level,"
",pFunctionStri ngTable[sTraceData.usFu nctionNum]);


Thanks alot for any and all help!
-Tony

Just an example, there are probably other and better solutions...

string buff =
"Entering: " +
pFunctionString Table[sTraceData.usFu nctionNum].PadLeft(iInden tLevel) +
"\r\n";

You could just create a new string with iIndentLevel number of spaces and
add the other string to it:

string buff = new string(' ', iIndentLevel) +
pFunctionString Table[sTraceData.usFu nctionNum];
