Writing Fixed width text files from excel vba - vba

Question

This is the output of a program.
I have specified what shall be width of each cell in the program and my program shows correct output.
What I want to do is cell content shall be written from right to left. E.g highlighted figure 9983.54 has width of 21. Text file has used first 7 columns. But I want it to use last 7 columns of text file.
Please see expected output image.
I am not getting any clue how to do this. I am not a very professional programmer but I love coding. This text file is used as input to some other program and i am trying to automate writing text file from excel VBA.
Can anyone suggest a way to get this output format?
Here is the code which gave me first output
Option Explicit
Sub CreateFixedWidthFile(strFile As String, ws As Worksheet, s() As Integer)
Dim i As Long, j As Long
Dim strLine As String, strCell As String
'get a freefile
Dim fNum As Long
fNum = FreeFile
'open the textfile
Open strFile For Output As fNum
'loop from first to last row
'use 2 rather than 1 to ignore header row
For i = 1 To ws.Range("a65536").End(xlUp).Row
'new line
strLine = ""
'loop through each field
For j = 0 To UBound(s)
'make sure we only take chars up to length of field (may want to output some sort of error if it is longer than field)
strCell = Left$(ws.Cells(i, j + 1).Value, s(j))
'add on string of spaces with length equal to the difference in length between field length and value length
strLine = strLine & strCell & String$(s(j) - Len(strCell), Chr$(32))
Next j
'write the line to the file
Print #fNum, strLine
Next i
'close the file
Close #fNum
End Sub
'for example the code could be called using:
Sub CreateFile()
Dim sPath As String
sPath = Application.GetSaveAsFilename("", "Text Files,*.txt")
If LCase$(sPath) = "false" Then Exit Sub
'specify the widths of our fields
'the number of columns is the number specified in the line below +1
Dim s(6) As Integer
'starting at 0 specify the width of each column
s(0) = 21
s(1) = 9
s(2) = 15
s(3) = 11
s(4) = 12
s(5) = 10
s(6) = 186
'for example to use 3 columns with field of length 5, 10 and 15 you would use:
'dim s(2) as Integer
's(0)=5
's(1)=10
's(2)=15
'write to file the data from the activesheet
CreateFixedWidthFile sPath, ActiveSheet, s
End Sub

Answer 1

Something like this should work:
x = 9983.54
a = Space(21-Len(CStr(x))) & CStr(x)
Then a will be 14 spaces followed by x:
a = " 9983.54"
Here 21 is the desired column width --- change as necessary. CStr may be unnecessary for non-numeric x.
If you're going to right-justify a lot of different data to different width fields you could write a general purpose function:
Function LeftJust(val As String, width As Integer) As String
LeftJust = Space(width - Len(val)) & val
End Function
The you call it with LeftJust(CStr(9983.54), 21).
Also note that VBA's Print # statement has a Spc(n) parameter that you can use to produce fixed-width output, e.g., Print #fNum, Spc(n); a; before this statement you calculate n: n = 21-Len(CStr(a)).
Hope that helps
