How do I format output by using printf.
suppose i want to print following in formatter.
testing testing testing testing
testingggg testingggg testingggg testingggg
I am not asking about using "\t", I am asking on printf style formatting? If some one can give me suggestion and example. Or may be link with example. I can do it to fit my need.
I think you're looking for the Formatter class, which does printf-style formatting for Java.
For example, applied to your input:
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
Formatter formatter = new Formatter(sb, Locale.US);
formatter.format("%1$-15s %2$-15s %3$-15s %4$-15s\n", "testing", "testing", "testing", "testing");
formatter.format("%1$-15s %2$-15s %3$-15s %4$-15s", "testingggg", "testingggg", "testingggg", "testingggg");
System.out.println(sb.toString());
Produces:
testing testing testing testing
testingggg testingggg testingggg testingggg
You can use System.out.printf("%sggg" , t)
Where t = "testing"
and ggg is just appended onto this string.
Hope this helps :D
