Integers print with leading space?

[dkr]

Where o_ncards is dimensioned as an integer, the following code prints the line with a space between the comma (c) and the integer??
I know I can use print using, but why the leading space?

Code: Select all

c = ","
print #out_f, "NUM_CARDS";c;o_ncards

Output:
NUM_CARDS, 5

Thanks,
Darren

We get a leading space with signed integers, but not unsigned integers.

Indeed, the leading space is for the sign. If you want to get rid of it (in case of positive integers), simply convert the number before printing (either with the & string contatenation operator or with the str() function:

Code: Select all

dim as integer _
  o_ncards => 5
dim as string _
  c => ","

? "NUM_CARDS"; c; o_ncards

? "NUM_CARDS"; c & o_ncards
? "NUM_CARDS"; c; str( o_ncards )

sleep()

Ok, great. I forgot about the sign
