thanks for trying the function . I never try other language before so right
now I don't know how to resolve the problem . 

I design this function to make difficult formatting  that gambas programmer
might encounter become easy.
you will probably using it more in situation that need fix size

for example
you need to write program to export data to text file in fix size in
following format. 
1. item_no      type:integer    size = 10 character , leading zero
2. item name   type:string      size = 20 character, trailing space
3. item_qty     type:integer    size = 5 character , leading zero
4. item_price   type:float       size = 10 character , 2 decimal , leading
zero, no thousand and decimal separator

you can easily do this by :
1. formatx(item_no , "@n010")
2. formatx(item_name, "@s20")
3. formatx(item_qty, "@n05")
4 formatx(item_price, "@n010vv2")
  
you can see that how this function simplify your code that you will need
more code without it?
