6 consecutive spaces, or 6 total spaces? 6 spaces in words or 6 spaces in characters. There is a lot of information that you have not yet provided.

Please improve the question to get a good answer.

Before you dig into the information which is not yet provided, just look at it at some distance. Don't you see the super-puper abuse in it? Not even ASP.NET abuse, but the abuse of the civilization.
Will you look at my answer, Solution 1?

6 consecutive spaces.

I don't follow you?
Are you saying that the date of birth area has 6 spaces, so you want to force the 'encashable' line to be on the same row?
You mean 'exactly' 6 spaces? Not more nor less?

I think we would need to know where this text is appearing, to give an answer. e.g. if it is on a web page in html, then what is currently causing it to wrap to the next line? Unless there is some tag forcing the line break (for example, <br> or <p>) then it will just be wrapping according to available space on the page.

Solution 1

Don't do ugly stuff inherited from the texts created for the blanks on a historical mechanical typewriter. Use TextBox, which is implemented as the text <input> element:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.web.ui.webcontrols.textbox%28v=vs.110%29.aspx[^].

Also note that for all non-ugly fonts, the number of characters (spacer or not), it pretty much irrelevant, because they are not monospace, different texts with the same number of characters take different space.

+5, although OP himself didn't have any idea for what he wanted, if there are spaces no matter 6 or 7, the line is already being concatenated.

Probably you are right.
Thank you, Afzaal.
