Right Pad

Right pad a string.

Usage

var rpad = require( '@stdlib/string/right-pad' );

rpad( str, len[, pad] )

Right pads a string such that the padded string has a length of at least len.

var str = rpad( 'a', 5 );
// returns 'a    '

By default, an input string is padded with spaces. To pad with a different character or sequence of characters, provide a pad string.

var str = rpad( 'beep', 10, 'p' );
// returns 'beeppppppp'

str = rpad( 'beep', 12, 'boop' );
// returns 'beepboopboop'

Notes

• An output string is not guaranteed to have a length of exactly len, but to have a length of at least len. To generate a padded string having a length equal to len

  var str = rpad( 'beep', 10, 'boop' );
  // returns 'beepboopboop' => length 12
  
  str = str.substring( 0, 10 );
  // returns 'beepboopbo' => length 10

Examples

var round = require( '@stdlib/math/base/special/round' );
var randu = require( '@stdlib/math/base/random/randu' );
var rpad = require( '@stdlib/string/right-pad' );

var str = 'beep';
var n;
var i;

for ( i = 0; i < 100; i++ ) {
    n = round( randu()*10.0 ) + str.length;
    console.log( rpad( str, n, 'p' ) );
}
