    Private Sub Nights()
        Dim count As Integer = 52
        Dim p As Integer = 0
        Const cols As Integer = 6
        Dim montera As String = ""
        For i As Integer = 1 To count Step 6

            montera += [String].Format("{0,10} {1,2}", i)
            p += 1
            If (p >= cols) AndAlso (p Mod cols = 0) Then
                Console.WriteLine(montera)
                montera = ""
            End If
        Next
        Console.WriteLine(montera)
        Console.WriteLine("-------------------------------------------------------")
    End Sub

i get a erro on this line montera += [String].Format("{0,10} {1,2}", i) Index (zero based) must be greater than or equal to zero and less than the size of the argument list. what do i need to change so it can work?

What do you believe you are trying to accomplish with this line?

[String].Format("{0,10} {1,2}", i)

[Kalle114]

im going to get that it looks like this

6 9 12 15 18 21
24 and so on

[modi123_1]

Okay.. so what do you believe "{0,10}" does? (with respects to string.format?)

[Kalle114]

Have your fingers do some walk'n then! Head over and read up on what string.format does!

http://msdn.microsof...ing.format.aspx


string.format returns a string, right? It also allows you to setup placeholders in one string and fill them at run time!

Example:

string.format("hugs are for {0}", "thugs")

{0} is the place holder here.. and says the first of the items after the comma is to be filled in there.

You can do something like

string.format("hugs are for {0} but {1} have great hats!", "thugs", "cats")

See how the second element, "cats", would fill in to place holder {1}.

No go nuts.
