This works fine !

B4X:

X = 1
Y = 2
Z = 3
STR1 = X & "          " & Y & ".........." & Z
Log(STR1

The Log looks like this :

B4X:

1          2..........3

So I don't understand what your problem is.

Best regards.

reply to "don't see problem"

with in the string ST1 i need ten blank spaces between the "1" and the "2" similarly to how there are ten periods between the "2" and the "3"..... i wrote the question that way but even this forum functionality killed the white spaces in my example

The code sample I posted does work there are 10 spaces between 1 and 2 !
Yes, in the forum text, extra spaces are removed.
But if you put your text between code tags the spaces are maintained, like in my post.

Best regards.

am i STILL missing something?

locLineData = locTme & " " & locTYPE & " " & "P-" & locST2data

looks fine now but the forum will probably compress it so as to not be seen but.... there are six spaces between locTme and locTYPE and two spaces between locTYPE and "P-"

the value of locLineData however shows all but one of the 6 spaces removed and one of the two spaces removed so that there is but a single space between these items....

is there something else to try?

more discovery....

the hovering never shows the spaces but the value displayed under "Local variables" is correct.... so it is just the hover function that has the problem? and not the actual value being assigned to the string variable.... thank you for your help with this
