hay guys, easy java question:

if I'm displaying a string to standard output, how would i go about lining up the rows.. an example would be

displayname1isthislong 45 34
displayname2isshort 45 34

displayname1 and 2 are output using a toString method for an object within a loop, so I can't just pad out each row individually to get the length i want..

I'm probably making this waay harder than it should be..

Java probably has some printf type thing, but if you want to do it by hand, just measure the string length. In pseudocode:

X = witdh of text (maximum)

print text
print Repeat(" ", X - length(text))
print rest
