HELP: Fixed Length String ?
-
Hi all, I have a situation where I need to return a fixed length string regardless of the length of a string that has been assigned to it. For example, if I wanted to have String1 which is made up of 12 spaces, then assing a returned value to a String2 which can be anything from 1 to 12 characters in length, how is this best done ? The following may give you an idea where I'm coming from:
String^ Result; //This needs to be a fixed 12 characters.String^ s1 = "ABC"; Result = s1;So I needResultto return'ABC'+ 9 spaces. Hope this all makes some sense.... Fritzables. -
