Overview
The PadString function returns a copy of a string with padding on its end (right side). The padding can either be spaces or a specified string.
Syntax/Parameters
Syntax
string = PadString ( string source, int size, [string pad], [boolean left] );
Parameters
source
A string to pad.
size
An int size of the string after the pad is complete. If source is larger than size, no padding will be applied. The string is not truncated and remains unchanged.
pad
An optional string to use as padding. If pad is not specified, the padding will be comprised of space characters (‘ ’) by default.
left
An optional boolean value that when not FALSE, will fill before the string. The default is FALSE.
Return Value
Returns a string that is the padded version of source as specified.
Remarks
If size exceeds the sum of the lengths of the source string and the pad string, the pad string will be repeated until the size requirement is met as closely as possible. If the pad string or the source string is larger than size, the PadString function will return the source string with no additional padding.
Use caution for multi character pad values. The pad function will stop mid sequence if the size is reached while adding a multi character pad, thus cutting off the pad string.
