Answer 10

Not exactly but something similar.
I guess my question wasnt clear enough. Sorry

Answer 11

if you want to print "Hello" with a indent of 8 characters:
printf("%13.5s", "Hello World\n");
Output:
Hello
.................

Here's how it works: 13 is the length of the line, 5 is the number of characters in "Hello", 13-5 = 8 is the number of characters indent.
