StrFix

Pads or truncates a string to a fixed length using characters.

Syntax:

StrFix (base-string, pad-string, length)

Parameters:

(s) base-string string to be adjusted to a fixed length.

(s) pad-string appended to base-string if needed to fill out the desired length. If pad-string is null, spaces are used instead.

(i) length character count of the string.

Returns:

(s)  fixed size string.

 

This function is identical to StrFixChars function.This function "fixes" the length of a string, either by truncating it on the right, or by appending enough copies of pad-string to achieve the desired length.

Example:


a = StrFix("Henry", " ", 15)
b = StrFix("Betty", " ", 15)
c = StrFix("George", " ", 15)
Message("Spaced Names", StrCat(a, b, c))

which produces:
