& ljust() Syntax: ljust(<string>, <length>[, <fill>]) This function pads a string with trailing <fill> characters, or with spaces if no fill character is given) ("left-justifies") so it is <length> long. If <string> is longer than <length>, the <string> is returned; it is not truncated. Example: > say -[ljust(foo,6)]- You say "-foo -" > say %r0[ljust(foo,6)]7%r01234567 You say " 0foo 7 01234567" > say =[ljust(bar,5,.)]= You say "=bar..=" See Also: rjust(), strlen()
