    Any tips on this?

    Hello All,

    I have written this function:

    PHP Code:
    xd = [4815241561167];
    yd = [2267666];
    var 
    space = new Array();
    space prepare_Space_Array(xd);
    //
    for (var 0i<=xd.length-1i++) {
        
    trace(xd[i]+space[i]+yd[i]);
    }
    //
    function prepare_Space_Array(passedArray:Array) {
        
    //
        //the output is an array (spaceArray) contains space/separator.
        //
        
    var array_Contains_Length_passedArray_Elements:Array = new Array();
        var 
    diffSpace = new Array();
        var 
    spaceArray = new Array();
        var 
    longestSpace:Number 0;
        var 
    generalSpace:String "          ";
        
    //
        
    for (var 0i<=passedArray.length-1i++) {
            
    array_Contains_Length_passedArray_Elements.push(String(passedArray[i]).length);
            if (
    String(passedArray[i]).length>=longestSpace) {
                
    longestSpace String(passedArray[i]).length;
            }
        }
        
    //
        
    for (var 0i<=passedArray.length-1i++) {
            
    diffSpace.push(longestSpace-array_Contains_Length_passedArray_Elements[i]);
        }
        
    trace(diffSpace);
        
    //
        
    for (var 0i<=diffSpace.length-1i++) {
            var 
    space:String " ";
            for (var 
    0j<=diffSpace[i]; j++) {
                
    space " "+space;
            }
            
    space space+generalSpace;
            
    spaceArray.push(space);
        }
        
    //
        
    return spaceArray;
        
    //

    It is all about printing out data as two columns, the column on the right is left-aligned. What I mean here is that the printed data will be as following in the trace window:
    PHP Code:
    48                    226
    1524156116            7
    7                     666 
    As intended to be. However, when copy-&-paste or writing (using other software) this output in a text file it become as the following:
    PHP Code:
    48                            226
    1524156116               7
    7                             666 
    Any tips to follow? Thanks!

    I tried to use your code, but your script crashed my flash its so nested, can I attempt all different code that does the same thing?

    Hello Alloy,

    If you can come up with different code do the same purpose no problem.

    Thanks!

    i test your file, it work ok all ways, even when copy paste to text file, if that what you mean,

    you can try use "\t" code for indent

    PHP Code:
    xd = [4815241561167];
    yd = [2267666];
    var 
    space = new Array();
    space prepare_Space_Array(xd);
    //
    for (var 0<= xd.length 1i++)
    {
        
    trace(xd[i] + space[i] + yd[i]);
    }
    //
    function prepare_Space_Array(passedArray:Array)
    {
        
    //
        //the output is an array (spaceArray) contains space/separator.
        //
        
    var array_Contains_Length_passedArray_Elements:Array = new Array();
        var 
    diffSpace = new Array();
        var 
    spaceArray = new Array();
        var 
    longestSpace:Number 0;
        var 
    generalSpace:String "\t";
        
    //
        
    for (var 0<= passedArray.length 1i++)
        {
            
    array_Contains_Length_passedArray_Elements.push(String(passedArray[i]).length);
            if (
    String(passedArray[i]).length >= longestSpace)
            {
                
    longestSpace String(passedArray[i]).length;
            }
        }
        
    //
        
    for (var 0<= passedArray.length 1i++)
        {
            
    diffSpace.push(longestSpace array_Contains_Length_passedArray_Elements[i]);
        }
        
    trace(diffSpace);
        
    //
        
    for (var 0<= diffSpace.length 1i++)
        {
            var 
    space:String "\t";
            for (var 
    0<= diffSpace[i]; j++)
            {
                
    space " " space;
            }
            
    space space generalSpace;
            
    spaceArray.push(space);
        }
        
    //
        
    return spaceArray;
        
    //

    good, i not look too long through it, but it was a little mixed up and can be tighter.
    not no why alloy say he crash flash trying it, straight forward function really.

    PHP Code:
    var xd:Array = [4815241561167345434534534543534534];
    var 
    yd:Array = [22676666767671675675674675673375686756];

    var 
    igj:Number;
    var 
    spacer:String "\t\t\t";

    var 
    space:Array = new Array();
    space doSpaces(xd);

    for (var 
    0xd.lengthi++)
    {
        
    trace(xd[i] + spacer yd[i]);
    }

    function 
    doSpaces(arg:Array)
    {
        var 
    gaps:Array = new Array();
        var 
    difference:Array = new Array();
        var 
    longest:Number 0;

        for (
    0arg.lengthi++)
        {
            
    gaps.push(String(arg[i]).length);

            if (
    String(arg[i]).length >= longest)
            {
                
    longest String(arg[i]).length;
            }
        }

        for (
    0arg.lengthi++)
        {
            
    difference.push(longest gaps[i]);
        }

        
    trace("Longest string length: " longest);
        
    trace("String lengths: " gaps);
        
    trace("Differences from longest: " difference);
        
    trace("----------------------");

        for (
    0difference.lengthi++)
        {
            for (
    0difference[i]; j++)
            {
                
    difference[i];
                if (
    0)
                {
                    
    xd[i] += ".";// swap "." for " "
                
    }
                else
                {
                    
    xd[i] = xd[i];
                }
            }
        }

    no need to do i (i <= array.kength -1 ) all time, same as (i < array.length )

    Thanks again Terrecing, Really great of you. Trying the code now!!!

    I know they are the same . When I have started coding in AS1.0 & 2.0 I learned it like (i <= array.kength -1 ), so when I am coding it just comes like that, I can't help it!

    Regards!
