I have an array which holds names and details i have been able to set "test1"
to the longest name in the array and add 5 more spaces. I then want it to
lookat the first value in the array and count howmany characters it is if it
is less than that that was stored in "test1" i want it to add spaces on
untill it reaches the same ammount as "test1" is this possible?

ary(0) = Space(Len(test1) - Len(ary(0))) & ary(0)

s = arr(lbound(arr))
if len(s) < len(test1) then
s = s & string(len(test1)-len(s)," ")
arr(lbound(arr)) = s
end if
