Re: Oneliner with substring trimming and padding

[Ratazong]

What about the following approach:

1. adding a "maximum number" of padding-characters at the end of your substring
2. cutting the substing back to the desired number of characters

That way you avoid calculating the real number of needed padding-characters

Just an idea. Rata

Sure, but how do you do this in an inplace-edit oneliner? :)
