note 49532 deleted from function.sprintf by googleguy

Note Submitter: downright at comcast dot net ---- Just thought I'd give a heads up for anyone doing cross platform applications. sprintf spacing is different numerically with Windows and Linux. Linux aligned correctly: $ol = sprintf ("%-6s|%11.2f|%11.2f|%11.2f|%11.2f|%11.2f|%11.2f|%11.2f|%11.2f\n", Windows aligned correctly: $ol = sprintf ("%-6s|%14.2f|%14.2f|%14.2f|%14.2f|%14.2f|%14.2f|%14.2f|%14.2f\n", As you can see the strings are fine for spacing, however, the numbers need a difference of 3 in order to have the same amount of spaces. I noticed this after using sprintf to format a header for a web app I was working on. On windows it fit, however, when it came to linux it was MUCH larger than the header.
