Title: Printing loop variable
Post by Peter_R_Kroon on Oct 4^th, 2010, 2:23am

I want to print, via the display function, the value of an integer loop variable. If I use %d (decimal) I get a large number of spaces in front of the printed loop variable. Using %s (string) or %c (character) is not the solution because I must print an integer value.
How can I avoid or suppress the large number of spaces in front of the printed loop variable?

I don't believe the V-AMS LRM says anything about putting spaces in front of a number; I expect it to follow the C convention for format specifiers. Have you asked your simulator vendor?

Try using %0d. That indicates that the minimum field width is what is desired.
