Right, but I want to be able to repeat a string. In other words, I need to have VFP replicate function that works with strings.
In that link I like the answer with 22 helpful votes - I am going to add this as an extension. I can have a separate version for single character.

UPDATE. I've added both versions of this function (for char and string) to our library project.
