  • print spaces with String.format()

    2 answers



I have a problem with printf in java. I would like to define the spaces with a variable.



 String a = "bar";
String b ="foo";

System.out.printf("%-10s %s", b, a);


//Output:foo*7spaces*bar



The "10" should be changeable. I hope you know what I mean. Thank you guys!
