Good Afternoon, I'm writing a program that is essentially connecting to MS SQL Server and dumping all the contents of the tables to separate csv's. I'm almost complete, but now I'm running into a Unicode issue and I'm not sure how to resolve it. I have a ridiculous amount of tables but I managed

Re: [Tutor] interesting behaviour with postional output

Fonts can be categorized as "fixed" or "proportional" widths. Proportional width fonts have different widths depending on the character. If you want to line up text, you must use fixed width fonts like courier, or use tabs, but that can be unreliable. You can get fancy and measure the width
