Print one's place for 1 to N times, ksh Perl whatever?
Hello all,
I would like to create a for loop or whatever is quick that will print the one’s place of a number for 1-N times
say for example a printed page formatting is 132 characters wide,
I would like a single line
123456789012345678901234567890... ...012
That is 132 characters long. I am putting this in a simple print test program and want the recipient to see at a glance that the printing is not getting truncated for any reason.
I see in a similar thread a slick way to print a single character N times
In these below cases if one * was missing (due to printer/lp miss configuration) in a string of 132 your eye could miss it easily.. TIA. -KJ
nawk 'BEGIN{$1000=OFS="*";print}' < /dev/null
perl -le 'print "*" x 1000'
printf "%01000d"|tr "0" "*"

extract_font_range
extract_font_range(3alleg4) Allegro manual extract_font_range(3alleg4)
NAME
extract_font_range - Extracts a range of characters from a font. Allegro game programming library.
SYNOPSIS
#include <allegro.h>
FONT *extract_font_range(FONT *f, int begin, int end)
DESCRIPTION
This function extracts a character range from a font and returns a new font that contains only the range of characters selected by this
function. You can pass -1 for either the lower or upper bound if you want to select all characters from the start or to the end of the
font. Example:
FONT *myfont;
FONT *capitals;
FONT *fontcopy;
...
/* Create a font of only capital letters */
capitals = extract_font_range(myfont, 'A', 'Z');
/* Create a copy of the font */
fontcopy = extract_font_range(myfont, -1, -1);
...
destroy_font(capitals);
destroy_font(fontcopy);
RETURN VALUE
Returns a pointer to the new font or NULL on error. Remember that you are responsible for destroying the font when you are finished with it
to avoid memory leaks.
