Try this
{
String desiredstring ="", string1 ="";
string1="column_name";
desiredstring = string1;
if ( string1.length() != 35 )
{
desiredstring = string1 + "00000000000000000000000000000000000000";
desiredstring = desiredstring.substring(0,35);
System.out.println("Desired String Length is "+desiredstring.length()+"
"+desiredstring);
}
If this looks OK to you , replace zeroes with equal number of spaces
Hope this helps

Subject: Proprtionate String Padding
Hello,
How can I pad a string with variable spaces?
When I query a database, the columns I get are not of fixed length. I would
like to make it uniform length. Is there any short cut to add spaces at the
end of a string? In other words can anyone give me the Java equivalent to
this pseudo code?
desiredString = string1 + (35 - string1.length()) spaces.
Thanks in advance
BRN
