( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??

@everybody, Thanks for all the help!

@#333 I don't think I missed an error but it's certainly possible

Hopefully, this is my final question. When I print my array with printf each string should be printed in a right justifified 20 character column (i.e. the last letter should be indented 20 characters sort of like align left in word.) As per the book's request I created a ruler line to determine how far the last character was actually being indented and it is only being indented 19 characters. I can not figure out why. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

#!/usr/bin/perl use warnings ; use strict ; print "This program will display what you type in right justified 20 c +haracter columns.\nEnter text and press ctrl + d when done.\n" ; my @userin = <STDIN> ; print "1234567890" x3 ; foreach (@userin) { printf "%20s", $_ ; }

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
