I'm attemping to create a function that adds spaces either in front of or
behind a string. For example, I want this "test" string to have 6 spaces after
it, plus the 4 characters in "test" for a total of 10 characters. I have an
"align" variable for both left and right alignment for the spaces. So far, the
only result I get is 'test ' instead of 'test '
<CFSCRIPT>
function spaceFiller(cell, fill, align) {
var newcell = "";
if (len(cell) EQ 0) {
cell = " ";
}
newcell = cell;
for (i=1; i EQ len(fill - (len(cell))); i=i+1) {
if (align EQ "R") {
newcell = " " & newcell;
} else { newcell = newcell & " ";
}
}
return (newcell);
}
</CFSCRIPT>
<cfoutput>
10 characters - align left: '#spaceFiller("test","10","L")#'
</cfoutput>
The result I get is 'test ' and what I want is 'test '
Any help would be much appreciated - thanks in advance.
