# 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'
|
|
```

## 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
|
|
```

### 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.

|
### 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%%%%
|
|
