Variable sized padding in printf

Question

Is there a way to have a variable sized padding in printf?

I have an integer which says how large the padding is:

void foo(int paddingSi         


        

Answer 1

better use std::cout

using namespace std;
cout << setw(9)                       //set output width
     << setfill('#')                  // set fill character
     << setiosflags(ios_base::right)  //put padding to the left
     << "MyText";

should produce:

###MyText
