alignment of strings representing integers

[andrews]

I try to add strings with fixed length who are representing integers
So I have to put spaces (I guesse) before short strings(from short
integers).

F.e.
12345
1
567
5432
54328

I am convinced that I can find a methode but I guesse that there must be
a simple method given by VB.NET but that I don't know.
Thanks for any response

Try :

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.string.padleft.aspx

but what you are trying to do is unclear ("add strings" ?). It will allow to
add spaces in front of your strings...

If you want to add the numeric value representing those strings, you have to
convert them and some of those values are not short integers which could be
the problem you have ?

Re: alignment of strings representing integers

I was thinking to be clear but here is the information

dim Number as integer
dim str1 as string = "Value is "
dim st as string
Number = 342
st = str1 & Number.tostring

Re: alignment of strings representing integers

if you want your numbers to be represented like columns just use a textbox
like this

Dim r As New Random
With TextBox1
.RightToLeft = Windows.Forms.R ightToLeft.Yes
.Multiline = True
.Dock = DockStyle.Fill
End With
For x = 0 To 100
TextBox1.Append Text(r.Next(0, 123456) & vbCrLf)
Next

Re: alignment of strings representing integers

So it looks like the PadLeft solution could be what you are looking for.
What if you try :

Dim Number As Integer() = {1, 100, 80}
Dim str1 As String = "Value is "
For i = 0 To UBound(Number)
Debug.WriteLine (str1 & Number(i).ToStr ing.PadLeft(10) )
Next

Is this what you are looking for ? If nopt, what is the difference wiht what
you would like to get ???

Re: alignment of strings representing integers

Padleft is for me THE SOLUTION that is the most simplest
Thanks very much to everyone

How about this:

Dim i as Integer = 77

? String.Format(" ({0,5})", i)
( 77)
