Hi
My requirement is to convert the following to C++
char buffer[90];
sprintf(buffer,"%s %-50s %6s %-6d %s\n",a.substr(0,5),a.substr(10,20))
Since the buffer is of varying length, i cannot hardcode the value as 90.
i would like to convert the buffer to string object so that it can receive any number of bytes. So ... i will be converting buffer to string object.
So i need some formatting in C++. Is there any thing similar to sprintf?
Regards
