I understand your reason, I I just had a real facepalm moment. I was changing the wrong code. This is correct:

Code:

@@ -990,9 +990,9 @@ void column_list(struct char_data *ch, int num_cols, const char **list, int list
    num_per_col = (list_length / num_cols) + ((list_length % num_cols) ? 1 : 0);
 
    /* Fill 'buf' with the columnised list */
-   for (r=0; r<num_per_col; r++)
+   for (c=0; c<num_cols; c++)
    {
-     for (c=0; c<num_cols; c++)
+     for (r=0; r<num_per_col; r++)
      {
        offset = (c*num_per_col)+r;
        if (offset < list_length)

In short, revert the change above and then just switch the loops.

Thanks for your kind response.

I modified it the way you taught me.

I printed out a list of socials for testing.

All socials list is divided into pages and printed normally.

However, it seems that each row cannot be separated into 80 columns.

Again, I look forward to your advice.

Ack. I was wrong again. And almost right the first time:

Code:

@@ -994,7 +994,7 @@ void column_list(struct char_data *ch, int num_cols, const char **list, int list
    {
      for (c=0; c<num_cols; c++)
      {
-       offset = (c*num_per_col)+r;
+       offset = (r*num_cols)+c;
        if (offset < list_length)
        {
          if (show_nums)

It turns out I made the lines way too long to fit the page, so they wrapped really weirdly. And even more so with your language.
