I need to right-pad with zeros a string by using (s)printf.
I looked up the manual and tried with
printf("%-19s", buffer);
which right-pad the string with spaces. So I tried
printf("%019s", buffer);
which left-pad the string with zeros. So I tried both
printf("%-019s", buffer);... (9 Replies)
I need to read in the string from input file and reform it by cut each segment and check the last segement lenght. If the last segment length is not as expected (see below segment file or table. It is predefined), then pad enough space.

I'm using cygwin bash to submit scheduled tasks (kinda like cron jobs) in windows and the following script is giving me grief. I need to format the current time with leading zeros before 10AM for the hour field. In this example, I manually typed in "09:50" instead of using the `printf...`... (2 Replies)

copymsg
copymsg(9F) Kernel Functions for Drivers copymsg(9F)NAME
copymsg - copy a message
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/stream.h>
mblk_t *copymsg(mblk_t *mp);
INTERFACE LEVEL
Architecture independent level 1 (DDI/DKI).
PARAMETERS
mp Pointer to the message to be copied.
DESCRIPTION
copymsg() forms a new message by allocating new message blocks, and copying the contents of the message referred to by mp (using the
copyb(9F) function). It returns a pointer to the new message.
RETURN VALUES
If the copy is successful, copymsg() returns a pointer to the new message. Otherwise, it returns a NULL pointer.
CONTEXT
copymsg() can be called from user or interrupt context.
EXAMPLES
Example 1: : Using copymsg
The routine lctouc() converts all the lowercase ASCII characters in the message to uppercase. If the reference count is greater than one
(line 8), then the message is shared, and must be copied before changing the contents of the data buffer. If the call to the copymsg()
function fails (line 9), return NULL (line 10), otherwise, free the original message (line 11). If the reference count was equal to 1, the
message can be modified. For each character (line 16) in each message block (line 15), if it is a lowercase letter, convert it to an upper-
case letter (line 18). A pointer to the converted message is returned (line 21).
