outint - Procedure

Description

Converts an integer to a string with optional formatting and writes the result to an open file or pipe.

  outint(f, i, width);

  file f;
  int  i;
  int  width;

f	- The name of a filevariable associated with a file open for write, append or update (W, A or U)
i	- The integer to write

width	- Controls the amount of padding. If width is less than the actual space required no padding
	is performed. If width is larger than the space required the result is padded with blanks.
	The sign of width controls weather padding is done on the left side of the result (+) or the
	right side (-). If not specified, width is set to zero = no padding.

  outint(f, 12345) => "12345"

  outint(f, 12345, 10) => "     12345"

  outint(f, 12345, -10) => "12345     "
