Spc

Output function to skip spaces when writing to screen or file

Syntax
   Spc( columns )

Usage
   Print Spc( spaces ) [(, | ;)] ...

Parameters
   spaces
      number of spaces to skip

Description
   Spc skips over the given number of spaces when Printing to screen or to 
   a file.  The character cells skipped over are left unchanged.

Example
   Print "foo"; Spc(5); "bar"
   Print "hello"; Spc(4); "world"

   '' Uses Spc to justify text instead of Tab

   Dim As String A1, B1, A2, B2

   A1 = "Jane"
   B1 = "Doe"
   A2 = "Bob"
   B2 = "Smith"

   Print "FIRST NAME"; Spc(35 - 10); "LAST NAME"
   Print "----------"; Spc(35 - 10); "----------"
   Print A1; Spc(35 - Len(A1)); B1
   Print A2; Spc(35 - Len(A2)); B2

The output would look like:

   FIRST Name                         LAST Name
   ----------                         ----------
   Jane                               Doe
   Bob                                Smith

Differences from QB
   * In QBASIC, spaces were printed in the gap, while in FreeBASIC, the 
     characters are just skipped over and left untouched.  The Space 
     function can still be used to achieve this effect.
