[String->PadLeading] modifies the base string in-place by padding the front of the string to the specified length. An optional second parameter specifies the padding character. The padding character defaults to a space.
[Variable: 'myString' = 'String Value']
[$myString->(PadLeading: Length)]
[Variable: 'myString']
<?LassoScript
Variable: 'myString' = 'String Value';
$myString->(PadLeading: Length, 'Char')]
Output: $myString;
?>
Use the [String->PadLeading] tag. The following example pads the string out to 32 characters by adding asterisks to the start of the string.
[Variable: 'myString' = 'A quick brown fox']
[$myString->(PadLeading: 32, '*')]
[Output: $myString]
***************A quick brown fox
