 (I wrote a function to format the numbers.)

in C?
Here's a generalized python function I just wrote that puts whatever character at whatever spacing, working from the end.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
def strfmt(val,char,space):
if space >= len(str(val)):
print("Spacing of %d is too large for '%s'" % (space,str(val)))
return
if len(str(val)) > space:
begin = len(str(val)) - space
end   = begin + space
sval  = '' #output string
while begin > 0:
sval   = str(char) + str(val)[begin:end] + sval
begin -= space
end   -= space
sval = str(val)[0:end] + sval #remainder
print(sval)
else:
print(str(val))
