Conversion of a simple Inventor VBA macro to Python

[isocam]

Can anybody help?

I have the following Inventor VBA macro:

Quantity = "12"

PartDescription = "TEST PART DESCRIPTION"

OutputString = OutputString & Space(22 - Len(OutputString)) & Space(4 - Len(Quantity)) & Quantity

OutputString = OutputString & Space(28 - Len(OutputString)) & PartDescription

OutputString = OutputString & Space(188 - Len(OutputString)) & "P" & " " & "T"

Can anybody convert the script to Python?

Many thanks in advance!

Hi @isocam ,

Here is the python code for it:

OutputString = "..."  #set initial value
Quantity = "12"
PartDescription = "TEST PART DESCRIPTION"
# OutputString = OutputString & Space(22 - Len(OutputString)) & Space(4 - Len(Quantity)) & Quantity
OutputString = f'{OutputString:22.22}{Quantity:4.4}'
# OutputString = OutputString & Space(28 - Len(OutputString)) & PartDescription
OutputString = f'{OutputString:28.28}{PartDescription}'
# OutputString = OutputString & Space(188 - Len(OutputString)) & "P" & " " & "T"
OutputString = f'{OutputString:188.188}P T'

print('         1         2         3         4         5         6         7         8         9        10'
      '        11        12        13        14        15        16        17        18        19        20')
print('....5....0....5....0....5....0....5....0....5....0....5....0....5....0....5....0....5....0....5....0'
      '....5....0....5....0....5....0....5....0....5....0....5....0....5....0....5....0....5....0....5....0')
print(OutputString)

Hope it helps.
