I hate to say this, though, we're going to need to use Format once because we need values from functions and constants in our final format:

PHP Code:


			
#define STEAMID_LENGTH 32



    decl String:logFormat[40];

    Format(logFormat, sizeof(logFormat), "#%%-4d | %%-%ds | %%-%ds | %%-15s", MAX_NAME_LENGTH, STEAMID_LENGTH);



    PrintToConsole(client, logFormat, userid, name, steamid, ip);

Note: Untested, but should give you 4 character userids (btw, this really should be increased to 5), MAX_NAME_LENGTH names, 32-character Steam IDs, and 15 character IPs (assuming IPv4 addresses with no port).

This is what I was going to post. I've used the advanced formatting a lot when creating timers to pad single-digit numbers with a leading zero. Lets me easily change 0:5 to 00:05.
