form3justify: formats a character string

In rbsa: Ancillary Functions for R Programming

Description

Formats character string(s). The main use of this function is to produce aligned columns lists while not printing them at the same time.

Usage

 
  form3justify(chaine,
               nbc=8,
               format=3,
               tronc=TRUE,
               carac="",
               monitor=rbsa0$monitor$v) 

Arguments

chaine	the character string to be printed, can be a vector.
nbc	Desired number of characters for the result; when chain is a vector can be a vector of the same length
format	Indicates the type of alignment: 0 no aligment (no supplementary character added to reach nbc) 1 to the left side 2 centered 3 to the right side
tronc	If true, no more than nbc characters are returned and possibly the string is truncated. In that case, $ is introduced to indicate the fact.
carac	Character to use for enlarging the string
monitor	List of constants indicating the monitoring choices, see the rbsa0$monitor$v provided object as an example.

Details

The justification is made component by component, no concatenation between them is done.

Value

a character string

Future

Improve the behavior when nchar(carac)>1.
