Description

Left-aligns a string into a fixed length text space.

var
  MyString1: String;
  MyString2: String;

begin
  MyString1 := '12345';
  MyString2 := '123';
  Writeln(MyString1.PadRight(5));
  Writeln(MyString2.PadRight(5));
end.

Output:

12345
123

There are two PadRight overloaded methods. The first one assumes the pad character is the empty space, while the second one allows you to specify the padding character.
