LPad$(A$,X[,"char"])

The '''LPad$''' [[internal function]] returns A$, adding leading blanks to make it X characters long. If A$ already has at least X characters, no blanks are added.

====Comments and Examples====
10 LET A$ = "Right-justify"
20 LET B$ = "Right-edge"
30 PRINT LEN(A$),LEN(B$)
40 LET A$ = LPAD$(A$,13)
50 LET B$ = LPAD$(B$,13)
60 PRINT LEN(A$),LEN(B$)

The above example will print 10 and 13 from line 30, but will print 13 and 13 from line 60 after both strings have been left-padded with blanks.

An optional third parameter ("char") has been added to LPAD$ and RPAD$ to specify the character to be used for the padding (instead of blanks, which are still the default). The "char" parameter is limited to one character in length (error 410 will result if it is longer). Nulls and CHR$(0) are allowed.
