hey, I have a bunch of strings that are 20 characters long. The user inputs
data 10 characters long and I am inserting data at character spot number 11.
well what if the user inputs data that is 5 characters long? how do I insert
spaces untill it is 10 characters long, so I can still use the string.insert
at space number 11?
I hope this made sense. thanks.

Hi,
Use PadLeft or PadRight. Or better still...what about StringBuilder?

Remember that String is an inmutable class, this means that if you try to
modify it in any way you are creating a new instance.
With that remark in place you can use Pad or simply adding a new string like
corrected = user_input + new String( ' ', 10 - user_input);
Take also a look at StringBuilder class

string padded = originalString. PadRight(10);
(If you've always got an original string which is 10 characters long
though, why are you using Insert to append to the end of it? Why not
just use string extra = original + otherBit; ?)

because Im replacing this same string many times... there is quite a crazy
situation... basically i take a huge string, and pass pieces of the string 17
characters in length to a printer. also, add text to the end of it that says
"Line 1" "Line 2" "Line 3"
but what if the last line is less than 17 characters? I cant add the line
number just to the end,. it wont be right justified with the rest of the line
numbers. so I need to add spaces till its long enough,.
its actually more complicated than that. but I'm just showing you a perfect
example of where I need to do this.

I use code like the following to retrieve fields from a form:
recd =
recd.append(string.ljust(form.getfirst("lname",' '),15))
recd.append(string.ljust(form.getfirst("fname",' '),15))
etc., etc.
The intent is to finish by assigning the list to a string that I would
write to disk: recstr = string.join(recd,'')

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
