LeftPad

Declaration

Function LeftPad( S : string; Ch : Char; Len : Integer) : string

Example

procedure OnMapEvent(var Value:Variant);
begin
  Value := LeftPad('abc','1',5); // returns 'abc11' - two padding characters added, leaving S left-justified
  Value := LeftPad('abc','1',2); // returns 'abc' - no padding necessary (and no truncation)
end;

Description

Returns string S left-justified within the output, and padded with the Ch character (on the right) if necessary to make the output up to length Len.

Note: Example and Description corrected November 2011. Previous version had LeftPad and RightPad interchanged.
