Description:
The program uses a simple print routine from that is controlled via a control string. 
The print routine reads, starting from the 10th position, the number of spaces to be printed through a loop and prints them. 
Afterwards, a star is always printed, and the next number of spaces is retrieved from the control string. 
If an "E" is read from the control string, a carriage return (CR) is executed. 
The first 9 characters are used to generate a string with the corresponding length of spaces from the read number.
