I have data that prints to a flat file database.

The data can sometimes be 1, 2, 3, or 4 characters in length.

Id like to have it print a fixed length (6 characters) into the database, like this:

xyz|fred  |xyz  

instead of 

xyz|fred|xyz    


Is there a simple solution?

I was going to count the string length and add a space after each character to make it 
equal to 6, but that might be the long way.

Any ideas are appreciated.

Fred
