str_pad
Posted on May 23rd, 2009 No commentsstr_pad allows a string to be added to a particular length using another string.
PHP
echo str_pad('Hi', 5); // => 'Hi ' echo str_pad('Hi', 5, '+'); // => 'Hi+++' echo str_pad('78', 5, '0', STR_PAD_LEFT); // => '00078'
Instead of padding a string, in Ruby we justify a string to the left or right.
Ruby
puts "Hi".ljust(5); # => 'Hi ' puts "Hi".ljust(5, '+'); # => 'Hi+++' puts "78".rjust(5, '0'); # => '00078'
To pad both sides of a string, we need to use a combination of ljust and rjust.
PHP
echo str_pad('Special', 11, '*', STR_PAD_BOTH); // => '**Special**'
Ruby
puts "Special".ljust(9).rjust(11); # => '**Special**'
