Backspace in string formatting while printing to PDF

Question

I\'m trying to print in PDF two columns of information that contain some strings that the user inputs. This is my code so far:

string s = \"\";
int width = 6         


        

Answer 1

i have tried this below. It worked for me. you are using (60 - name.size) for name width but you are not using (name.width) for AAA. if you use this then total width will be = (60 - name.size) + name.size = 60. [I think this is what you are wanting.]. good luck.

string name = "John Edward Jr.";
        string surname = "Pascal Einstein W. Alfi";
        string school = "St. John";
        string s = "";
        int charWidth = 0;
        int width = 60 - name.Count();
        charWidth = name.Count();
        s = s + string.Format("{0,-" + width + "}" + "{1," + charWidth + "}", "Name: " + name, "AAA: ");
        Console.WriteLine(s);
        s = "";
        width = 60 - surname.Count();
        charWidth = surname.Count();
        s = s + string.Format("{0,-" + width + "}" + "{1," + charWidth + "}", "Surname: " + surname, "BBB: ");
        Console.WriteLine(s);
        s = "";
        width = 60 - school.Count();
        charWidth = school.Count();
        s = s + string.Format("{0,-" + width + "}" + "{1," + charWidth + "}", "School: " + school, "CCC: ");
        Console.WriteLine(s);
