JS RPAD & LPAD functions

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Jul 09.2003

Hi y’all, JS gurus out there! ?

Are there an equivalent functions for RPAD (right justification) and LPAD (left justification)

I need something like this:

myVarLEFT = LPAD(myValue, 6, ‘*‘)
That is, fill with ‘*‘ to the left

myVarLEFT = RPAD(myValue, 6, ‘*‘)
That is, fill with ‘*‘ to the right

(LPAD and RPAD are Oracle formatting functions, but I know you catch the idea, don’t you?)

Any ideas? They’ll be gratefully received.

Thanx In Advance

@CharlesJul 09.2003 — [font=georgia]No, but they're easily made but JavaScript being an OOP language they'll look a wee bit different:[/font]

[font=monospace]<script type="text/javascript">

<!--

String.prototype.lPad = function (n,c) {var i; var a = this.split(''); for (i = 0; i < n - this.length; i++) {a.unshift (c)}; return a.join('')}

String.prototype.rPad = function (n,c) {var i; var a = this.split(''); for (i = 0; i < n - this.length; i++) {a.push (c)}; return a.join('')}

alert ('foo'.lPad(6,'*'))

// -->

</script>[/font]
