The LSET and RSET commands can duplicate the functionality of PADL and PADR

Example:
cX = space(20): cY = "TEST"
LSET cX = cY ' Produces 20 character string beginning with 'TEST'
RSET cX = cY

I suggest making a public function, in fact:

Public Function PADL(cString as String, nLen as Length, Optional cPadChar as String) AS STRING
Dim cTemp as String
cTemp = String(nLen,Iif(cPadChar=""," ",cPadChar))
LSET cTemp = cString
PADL = cTemp
End Function

Add this to the endless list of functions VFP has built-in, that VB
doesn't...

>Hi! I would like to know the equivalent of the Foxpro functions PADR() and PADL() in VB6. Can anyone tell me or do I have to create my own? Perhaps you're using your own similar function, maybe you can share it with me? Thanks!
