String.PadRight Method

  • Reference

Definition

Namespace:
System
Assembly:
System.Runtime.dll
Assembly:
mscorlib.dll
Assembly:
netstandard.dll

Returns a new string of a specified length in which the end of the current string is padded with spaces or with a specified Unicode character.

Overloads

PadRight(Int32)

Returns a new string that left-aligns the characters in this string by padding them with spaces on the right, for a specified total length.
PadRight(Int32, Char)

Returns a new string that left-aligns the characters in this string by padding them on the right with a specified Unicode character, for a specified total length.

Returns a new string that left-aligns the characters in this string by padding them with spaces on the right, for a specified total length.

public:
 System::String ^ PadRight(int totalWidth);
public string PadRight (int totalWidth);
member this.PadRight : int -> string
Public Function PadRight (totalWidth As Integer) As String

Parameters

totalWidth
Int32

The number of characters in the resulting string, equal to the number of original characters plus any additional padding characters.

Returns

String

A new string that is equivalent to this instance, but left-aligned and padded on the right with as many spaces as needed to create a length of totalWidth. However, if totalWidth is less than the length of this instance, the method returns a reference to the existing instance. If totalWidth is equal to the length of this instance, the method returns a new string that is identical to this instance.

Exceptions

ArgumentOutOfRangeException

totalWidth is less than zero.

Examples

The following example demonstrates the PadRight method.

String^ str = "BBQ and Slaw";
Console::Write( "|" );
Console::Write( str->PadRight( 15 ) );
Console::WriteLine( "|" ); // Displays "|BBQ and Slaw   |".
Console::Write( "|" );
Console::Write( str->PadRight( 5 ) );
Console::WriteLine( "|" ); // Displays "|BBQ and Slaw|".

string str;
str = "BBQ and Slaw";

Console.Write("|");
Console.Write(str.PadRight(15));
Console.WriteLine("|");       // Displays "|BBQ and Slaw   |".

Console.Write("|");
Console.Write(str.PadRight(5));
Console.WriteLine("|");       // Displays "|BBQ and Slaw|".

let str = "BBQ and Slaw"

printf "|"
printf $"{str.PadRight 15}"
printfn "|"       // Displays "|BBQ and Slaw   |".

printf "|"
printf $"{str.PadRight 5}"
printfn "|"       // Displays "|BBQ and Slaw|".

Dim str As String
str = "BBQ and Slaw"

Console.Write("|")
Console.Write(str.PadRight(15))
Console.WriteLine("|") ' Displays "|BBQ and Slaw   |".

Console.Write("|")
Console.Write(str.PadRight(5))
Console.WriteLine("|") ' Displays "|BBQ and Slaw|".

Remarks

A Unicode space is defined as hexadecimal 0x0020.

The PadRight(Int32) method pads the end of the returned string. This means that, when used with right-to-left languages, it pads the left portion of the string.

Note

If the PadRight method pads the current instance with white-space characters, this method does not modify the value of the current instance. Instead, it returns a new string that is padded with trailing white space so that its total length is totalWidth characters.

Public Function PadRight (totalWidth As Integer, paddingChar As Char) As String

Parameters

totalWidth
Int32

The number of characters in the resulting string, equal to the number of original characters plus any additional padding characters.

paddingChar
Char

A Unicode padding character.

Returns

String

A new string that is equivalent to this instance, but left-aligned and padded on the right with as many paddingChar characters as needed to create a length of totalWidth. However, if totalWidth is less than the length of this instance, the method returns a reference to the existing instance. If totalWidth is equal to the length of this instance, the method returns a new string that is identical to this instance.

Exceptions

ArgumentOutOfRangeException

Examples

The following example demonstrates the PadRight method.

String^ str = "forty-two";
Console::Write( "|" );
Console::Write( str->PadRight( 15, '.' ) );
Console::WriteLine( "|" ); // Displays "|forty-two......|".
Console::Write( "|" );
Console::Write( str->PadRight( 5, '.' ) );
Console::WriteLine( "|" ); // Displays "|forty-two|".

string str = "forty-two";
char pad = '.';

Console.WriteLine(str.PadRight(15, pad));    // Displays "forty-two......".
Console.WriteLine(str.PadRight(2,  pad));    // Displays "forty-two".

let str = "forty-two"
let pad = '.'

printfn $"{str.PadRight(15, pad)}"    // Displays "forty-two......".
printfn $"{str.PadRight(2, pad)}"    // Displays "forty-two".

Dim str As String
Dim pad As Char
str = "forty-two"
pad = Convert.ToChar(".") 
Console.WriteLine(str.PadRight(15, pad)) ' Displays "|forty-two......|".
Console.WriteLine(str.PadRight(2,  pad)) ' Displays "|forty-two|".
