Something like, put “burger” into the mouth of me with “force”? Or maybe, set
the mouth of “bob” to “full” with “burger”? Hmmm… I’m guessing I’m hungry. BRB!

I guess I'm more of a fan of having multiple ways of saying something,
because then each person can use whatever feels most natural and intuitive
to them instead of being forced.

the BASIC RPT$ syntax is s not LC. "of" might work, though. I
also hate the * syntax. Yes, I know what it means, but I'm a CS junkie.

How about rpt(15,5) ? If you don't quote the "15", the numberformat would take
effect, I guess.

If we're devising syntax, I think some other languages use * as in:
put 30 * "a" into goop
This still runs into problems because of LC
Nice, Peter.
Inspired by that I wondered if we might use the lineDel to some
advantage here, and it turns out to be ever so slightly faster:
on mouseUp
put 1 into n
-- test 1:
put the millisecs into t
repeat n
put MakeString("#", 100) into r1
end repeat
put the mill
Without using Regex, you can do this:
function makeString tChar, n
-- returns a string of n characters (tChar)
-- no repeat loop!
put cr into line n of m
replace cr with tChar in m
return m
end makeString

This would be a useful command in LC. I'd like to see a "strip
leading/trailing" command to. I usually do that with a regExp but like the
solution to this problem, it's not the most readable thing in the world.
Sounds like it might be worth a post to the Open Source forum.

I absolutely agree. I have a function in my personal "standard library"
that does (something close to) this, and I would never consider
replacing that with this C-like code; I wrote C for a living for too
many years already, thanks.
But as an answer to the request (i.e. native LC, not a functi

Ah yes, I'm also quite good at "biffing myself" :)

don't get me wrong, I hate it, because it's c and I can't just stare at it
and know that %30s means pad the front with spaces, but nice.

put replacetext( format("%30s", " "), " ", "x") into myVar
(no promises for being the speediest solution - but still one line and
no library involved).

Mark,
I must have screwed something up the first time, because I wound up with
31, even though I expected 30. When I just tested it, it came out at 30.
Alex's idea is also clever, but what if I am trying to repeat another
character, like "#"?
I was trying to avoid the solution Craig suggested b
Hi Mike,
Into item 29 gives you a string of 29 chars, after 29 makes a string of
30 chars, into item 30 gives a string of 30 chars.
