or LoadFromFile() methods, what is the value of the PlainText property prior

Hello Folks,
I am loading up a Text file in RichEdit. The only problem is, the file in
the window has all the "Formatting" destroyed. It is a pure Text file, and
if I look at it with a text editor, it is perfect. If I load it up with
Richedit, the Spaces between the words are destroyed. I have tried changing
the pitches from Normal, to Fixed, to Variable. No luck... Any suggestions?

show what the text file actually look like instead? I don't know what your
data arrays are containing.
what formatting do you think the RichEdit is losing exactly?
Gambit
 

Hello Gambit,
Gambit>>How exactly are you loding the text? If via the RichEdit's
LoadFromStream()
I am using LoadFromFile();
I am creating the Text file with the following:
FILE *out;
out=fopen("data.bak","wt");
sprintf(buf,"%9s%9s%9s%9s%9.0f%9.0f %8.2f %8.2f\n",
Dat[(int)a],Cus[(int)a],Ord[(int)a],Inv[(int)a],
Amo[(int)a],totalboardfeet-Amo[(int)a],
Cos[(int)a],Total-Cos[(int)a]);
fputs(buf,out);
The "\n" is the only "new line" hidden character for ASCII.
I Loop through the sprintf command a certain number of times (between 1 and
100 or so, dependin on requirements).
Then I close the file and do the following:
Form3->RichEdit1->Lines->LoadFromFile("Data.bak");
Plain Text can be either true or false... I get the same result. I
uploaded a attachment.

You might want to set a non-proportional font (like courier) which will make
columns align correctly.
Propotional spaced fonts like Times etc. make spaces quite narrow and so
columns dont line up.

BTW you are NOT supposed to upload files to these newsgroups.
The binaries newsgroup is where these should be placed.

instead.
fixed-width font, such as "Courier New". All spacing is preserved. If it
doesn't work for you, then something else in your project has to be at
fault. What font settings are you using specifically in the RichEdit?
Gambit
 

Hello Gambit,
Gambit>>>Well, you are not putting any formatting into the file to begin
with, so
the sprintf is inserting when it justifies with the following:
sprintf(buf,"%9s%9s%9s%9s%9.0f%9.0f %8.2f %8.2f\n",...Because the data being
saved to the file is perfect, justified, and is exactly what is needed.
Gambit>>I uploaded a attachment.
I see no such attachment. Where you did you upload it?<<
Please accept my apologies... It seems they do not allow any
uploads to this news group. I sent the message with a text attachment to
show the exact data, but I kept receiving "group does not allow attachment
errors" when attempting to upload with attachment. I will do a copy paste
with the data here, but I never have much luck with formatting correctly on
these forums.
copy/paste produces this: (which is all correct data, but skewed from the
original file). NotePad opens it up perfectly, along with all the editors I
have used so far...

This is how it looks in Notepad (I am hoping this will save and upload
properly,
everything is right justified, thus making even columns on the right side.)
