# Right Pad

> Right pad a string.

<section class="usage">

## Usage

```javascript
var rpad = require( '@stdlib/string/right-pad' );
```

#### rpad( str, len\[, pad] )

Right pads a `string` such that the padded `string` has a `length` of **at least** `len`.

```javascript
var str = rpad( 'a', 5 );
// returns 'a    '
```

By default, an input `string` is padded with `spaces`. To pad with a different character or sequence of characters, provide a `pad` string.

```javascript
var str = rpad( 'beep', 10, 'p' );
// returns 'beeppppppp'

str = rpad( 'beep', 12, 'boop' );
// returns 'beepboopboop'
```

</section>

## Notes

-   An output `string` is **not** guaranteed to have a length of **exactly** `len`, but to have a `length` of **at least** `len`. To generate a padded `string` having a `length` equal to `len`

    ```javascript
    var str = rpad( 'beep', 10, 'boop' );
    // returns 'beepboopboop' => length 12

    str = str.substring( 0, 10 );
    // returns 'beepboopbo' => length 10
    ```

## Examples

<!-- eslint no-undef: "error" -->

```javascript
var round = require( '@stdlib/math/base/special/round' );
var randu = require( '@stdlib/random/base/randu' );
var rpad = require( '@stdlib/string/right-pad' );

var str = 'beep';
var n;
var i;

for ( i = 0; i < 100; i++ ) {
    n = round( randu()*10.0 ) + str.length;
    console.log( rpad( str, n, 'p' ) );
}

## CLI

<section class="usage">

### Usage

```text
Usage: rpad [options] [<string>] --len=<length>

Options:

  -h,    --help                Print this message.
  -V,    --version             Print the package version.
         --len length          Minimum string length.
         --pad str             String used to pad. Default: ' '.
         --split sep           Delimiter for stdin data. Default: '/\\r?\\n/'.
```

<section class="notes">

### Notes

-   If the split separator is a [regular expression][mdn-regexp], ensure that the `split` option is either properly escaped or enclosed in quotes.

    ```bash
    # Not escaped...
    $ echo -n $'beep\nboop' | rpad --len 8 --pad % --split /\r?\n/

    # Escaped...
    $ echo -n $'beep\nboop' | rpad --len 8 --pad % --split /\\r?\\n/
    ```

-   The implementation ignores trailing delimiters.

</section>

<!-- /.notes -->

<section class="examples">

### Examples

```bash
$ rpad beep --len 10 --pad p
beeppppppp
```

To use as a [standard stream][standard-streams],

```bash
$ echo -n 'boop' | rpad --len 8 --pad %
boop%%%%
```

By default, when used as a [standard stream][standard-streams], the implementation assumes newline-delimited data. To specify an alternative delimiter, set the `split` option.

```bash
$ echo -n 'boop\tbeep' |  rpad --len 8 --pad % --split '\t'
boop%%%%
beep%%%%
```
