Per Help: Formatting strings and numbers You can also format individual items in your Print and Println statements, by specifying the length of an items and whether it should be right or left justified. For numerical values, you can specify the number of decimal places to print. See the example below. Example 4: Exchange AMEX; If Close(0) > 50.0 then Println Symbol: -10, Close(0):8:3, Description:44; endif; The first value printed is the symbol of the stock selected. This symbol will be left justified (as signified by the minus sign on the 10) using a minimum of 10 columns. The next value to be printed is the latest close for the selected stock. This value will be right justified using a minimum of 8 columns. The ":3" signifies the number of digits to the right of the decimal point to print. If the close for a stock is 52.5, the value printed will be " 52.500" . The last string to be printed is the description of the current selected stock. This value will be right justified using a minimum of 44 columns.
