golfinhu Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 (edited) hi people, fine? i need a litte help! let's assume I have two strings that form a rectangle! Example: _______________________ _______________________ and i need to put how many spaces before one word, to centralize this! example: _______________________ this is a example _______________________ i tried using the number of characters, but it doesn't work, because some letters take up less space than other example, the letter "i" takes up less space than the letter "a" is it possible? thanks a lot!

golfinhu Posted March 30, 2011 Author Share Posted March 30, 2011 (edited) ok, I'll look at your udf and try again ;D thanks a lot Melba! Edit: you can help me? i tried this: i've tested the space " " and it's return 11 in width and i tried it, only for test! #include <StringSize.au3> #include <Array.au3> #include <String.au3> local $sLabelMsg = "Test" Local $size = _StringSize($sLabelMsg, Default, Default, Default, "Arial") ; get the size of the string Local $line = _StringSize("______________________", Default, Default, Default, "Arial") ; get the size of the string Local $faltam = $line[2] - $size[2] ; getting the diference Local $spaces = Round(($faltam / 11) / 2) ; getting how many spaces i need put $text = _StringRepeat(" ", $spaces) & $sLabelMsg ; add the spaces ClipPut($text) ; putting it on clipboard but he is far left! My logic is terrible today :s you can look my code please? thanks a lot and sorry for inconvenience Edited March 30, 2011 by golfinhu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Melba23 Posted March 30, 2011 Moderators Share Posted March 30, 2011 golfinhu, Just use the UDF - then you need not worry about the width of the space character.
