    Default cout problem

    Hi, I'm printing some values in a loop with this code:
    Qt Code:
    1. cout << "\tOut" << y << "= " <<output<< " " ;
    2. cout << "\terr = " << error << "\t" << " sq_err = " << _serrv<< " ";
    3. cout << "OK";
    4. cout << "\n";
    5. // I know this can be done in a line...
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 
    Qt Code:
    1. //output
    2. Out0= 0.9474925 err = 0.05250749 sq_err = 0.001378518 OK
    3. Out0= 0.6843882 err = 0.3156118 sq_err = 0.04980541
    4. Out0= 0.8848782 err = 0.1151218 sq_err = 0.006626516 OK
    5. Out0= 0.7979639 err = 0.2020361 sq_err = 0.0204093 OK
    6. Out0= 0.9102138 err = 0.08978618 sq_err = 0.004030779 OK
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 
    Why does any sq_err appear not tabulated (\t seems hans't effect)
    Regards

    It has an effect, just the tabulator is one character after the end of the previous text. Look that for "err" rows which are one digit longer "sq_err" fields are tabulated correctly. Either pad (or fill) the err field if it's shorter or calculate the tabulation yourself and add another \t if needed.

    Maybe you could use setw() instead of tabulators?

    Tabs will tab to the next tab column, which are eight spaces wide. If you look at your output, you will see that you are off eight spaces. This is a common problem when trying to line up columns with \t characters.
