Description
Right-aligns a string into a fixed-length text space.
var
MyString1: String;
MyString2: String;
begin
MyString1 := '12345';
MyString2 := '123';
Writeln(MyString1.PadLeft(5));
Writeln(MyString2.PadLeft(5));
end.
Output:
12345 123
There are two PadLeft overloaded methods. The first one assumes the pad character is the empty space, while the second one allows you to specify the padding character.
