Re: Generating standard length strings

[RazorbladeBidet]

You want string multiplication a la:

 sub standard_fill {
   my $string = $_[0];
   my $length = $_[1];
   
   my $orig_string_length = length($string);

   $string .= " " x ($length - $orig_string_length);
   
   return $string
 }

(code untested)

I'll leave the golfing to the PGA tour ;)
