Right justifies a string in a string buffer

Syntax

declare sub Rset ( byref dst as string, byref src as const string )
declare sub Rset ( byval dst as wstring ptr, byval src as const wstring ptr )

Usage

` Rset dst, src

`

Parameters

dst

A string or wstring buffer to copy the text into.

src

The source string or wstring to be right justified.

Description

Rset right justifies text into the string buffer dst, filling the right part of the string with src and the left part with spaces. The string buffer size is not modified.

If text is too long for the string buffer size, Rset truncates characters from the right.

Examples

start GeSHi

Dim buffer As String
buffer = Space(10)
RSet buffer, "91.5"
Print "-[" & buffer & "]-"

end GeSHi

The example above outputs:

-[      91.5]-

Differences from QB

• In QBasic the syntax was Rset dst = src. That syntax is also supported by FB.
