StringPadRight
StringPadRight["string",n]
makes string be of length n, padding it on the right with spaces or truncating it if necessary.
StringPadRight["string",n,"padding"]
pads by repeating copies of the string padding.
StringPadRight[{"s1","s2",…}]
pads strings with spaces on the right to make them all the same length.
StringPadRight[{"s1","s2",…},n,…]
pads or truncates to make all strings of length n.
Details
- StringPadRight effectively places repeated copies of padding to the right of string, truncating them when a total width of n characters has been achieved.
- StringPadRight[BioSequence["type","seq"],n,…] will apply the operation to the string "seq", yielding a BioSequence result.
- The following letter is used as the default padding for each type of biomolecular sequence if not otherwise specified:
-
"DNA" or "CircularDNA" N "RNA" N "Peptide" X

Pad a string with whitespace to have total length 10:
StringPadRight["abcde", 10]Pad with a non-whitespace character:
StringPadRight["abcde", 10, "."]Make a list of strings the same length:
StringPadRight[{"a", "ab", "abc", "abcd", "abcde"}]Pad or truncate a list of strings to a given length:
StringPadRight[{"a", "ab", "abc", "abcd", "abcde"}, 3]Text
