String Pad

This block pads a string until it reaches a target length.

Configuration

• Input String: the string to pad.
• Pad: which end to add the padding to.
  • Start (Pad Start): padding is added before the string, for example 42 becomes 0042.
  • End (Pad End): padding is added after the string.
• Target Length: pad until the string is this long.
• Pad String: the string used for padding. Defaults to a space.

Connections

• Result: executed after padding. The padded text is available to the following blocks as result_str.

A pad string longer than one character is repeated and truncated to fit, so abc padded to 8 characters with -= becomes abc-=-=-.

Note

A string that is already at or beyond Target Length is output unchanged, it is never truncated. Use Substring to shorten a string.
