this should work (not tested)
put multiChar(space,396) into tPaddedLine
function multiChar pChar,pRecordLength
repeat with n = 1 to pRecordLength
put pChar after tOut
end repeat
return tOut
end multiChar

put format("%396s", " ") into myRecord

put format("%" & numSpaces & "s", " ") into myRecord

Expanding the previous answers to padding an existing string
-using Alex Tweedly's format answer
get "the subject is padding" --or get space --or get empty
put 63 into limit
put char 1 to limit of (it & format("%" & limit & "s", " ")) into myRecord
put myRecord & "(
Hi Len,
While I'm at it, if I DO have to create a string of

Another approach:
put empty into recordBuffer
set the itemDelimiter to space
put empty into item of recordBuffer

It really IS clever! I'll be using that one.

This won't do the padding, but add extra spaces, yet maybe not as many as
you would expect:
If the recordBuffer contains:
1 empty => correct number of spaces
2 "Terrific" => the number of spaces + the length of "Terrific"
3 "These are the first words" => (the number of spaces -4 +21)

How about:
put space into item of recordBuffer
repla
All,
put empty into item of recordBuffer
Thanks to those who noted this logic comes up one character short.
However the better generic fix (IMO) is:
put empty into item (+1) of recordBuffer
