how to use padright padleft to format text for display?I need to format some text that I display in the output window. I need to show something like this: *abcdef * *abcdefghij * Here is the code that I try, but ... str1 = "abcdef" Console.WriteLine("*" & str1.PadRight(20 - str1.Length) & "*") str1 = "abcdefghij" Console.WriteLine("*" & str1.PadRight(20 - str1.Length) & "*") the output window displays: *abcdef* *abcdefghij* how do I make it display like this? *abcdef * *abcdefghij * Thanks, Rich A quick look at the help for PadRight says the parameter is the total
length, so use PadRight(20) Show quoteHide quote "Rich" <R***@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:F0B07FD5-952C-4E8C-8587-9EE9F6DA5C6A@microsoft.com... > Greetings, > > I need to format some text that I display in the output window.
