Is there a way for me to right justify the output of a file for a bulletin. Im using the below to get the stats, and it's just part of the total file.
var tlogons = formatString(users[i].stats.total_logons, 5);
var lastCallerStr = "\1h\1c" + tlogons + " " + "\1h\1c" + firstOn;
It displays ok, but it's left justified

Is there a simple way to do this. Thanks in advance.
I don't know what formatString() is, as it doesn't seem to appear in the Synchronet JavaScript object model - but you can use the printf() function to justify text. For format specifiers, text is right-justified by default with printf. You may need to specify a field width though (I don't remember for sure off the top of my head) You could use something like this (with a field width of 4):
printf("\1h\1c%4d \1h\1c%4d", tlogons, firstOn);
var lastCallerStr = format("\1h\1c%5u \1h\1c%5u", tlogons, firstOn);
That print the integers ('u' means unsigned integer) right-justified to 5 characters (minimum), using spaces for padding. If you wanted 0-padding instead, then you'd specify "%05u". If you want left-justification, use "%-5u". --
var lastCallerStr = format("\1h\1c%5u \1h\1c%5u", tlogons, firstOn);

Ok, I think I got that, and I have managed to make it work with different colors for anything that uses strictly numbers, but lets say there is a alias field, and a date field, if I use the u, which applies to intergers, I get <error> in the field, and if I leave out the padding and justifaction, I get a blank screen.
var lastCallerStr = format("\1h\1c%5u \1h\1r%2u \1h\1g%2u", tlogons, age, sec);
The above works as is, but what would I use instead of a u to format the alias and a date field with color. I tried to find the answer on my own looking at the js object model, but no luck. I guess what do i use in place of the u for text and dates.
var lastCallerStr = "\1h\1b" + alias + " " + "\1h\1y" + lastOn;
Thanks, as always. I beginning to think, that this is way over my head :(
You would use %s instead of %u:
