Comments
|
The numspaces parameter is an
Integer
specifying the number of spaces to be printed. It can be any value between 0 and 32767.
If a line width has been specified (using the
Width
statement), then the number of spaces is adjusted as follows:
numspaces = numspaces Mod width
|
|
|
If the resultant number of spaces is greater than
width - print_position
, then the number of spaces is recalculated as follows:
numspaces = numspaces – (width – print_position)
These calculations have the effect of never allowing the spaces to overflow the line length. Furthermore, with a large value for
column
and a small line width, the file pointer will never advance more than one line.

Example

This example displays 20 spaces between the arrows.
Sub Main()
Print "I am"; Spc(20); "20 spaces apart!"
Sleep (10000) 'Wait 10 seconds.
End Sub
