Pack() function but padd spaces on left instead of right (align right)

[dlite922]

I'm building a monospaced text output and it works fine with pack("A23",$variable) for example that makes sure the variable valuse takes up 23 spaces. If the string is less than 23, it fills the rest with spaces.

BUT

now i have dollar amount which of course want to align right (pad the spaces on the left)

any ideas?

Nevermind, found str_pad(). I don't think what i need can be done with pack().

Can't believe I forgot about that.

If anybody is curious its str_pad($variableStr, 30, " ", STR_PAD_LEFT);

or STD_PAD_RIGHT for left-aligned text.

Thanks...to me i guess

You're welcome.

I hate the text limit being 20 characters.

Truly hate it.
