Printing variable values at runtime

[truckexpert]

How does one print several values on a single line. I want to print variable values as a table at runtime. All are floating point single precision. I want to format the output with two decimal places. This is for debugging.

Suppose a = 88.1234, b=99.1234.

At runtime, I want the listener to echo:

88.12  99.12

Thanks,

Dave

Also, it would be nice if there was a format string that handled column alignment, like in FORTRAN (yes, I'm old, thank you).

[denisT.MaxDoctor · Accepted solution]

use format (instead of print) and formattedprint (to format values):

format "% % % %\n" \
	(formattedprint pi format:".4f") \
	(formattedprint pi format:".3f") \
	(formattedprint pi format:".2f") \
	(formattedprint pi format:".1f")

see MXS help for more details.
