Left Pad

[Guest]

How would one left pad a string with a repeating character?
For example, to create a 9 character string left padded with zeroes:

999 should become 000000999
1 should become 000000001

and so on...

Thanks for any help!

PadLeft? String has a PadLeft? They thought of almost everything.
Look, there's a PadRight too! There goes Lset and Rset, if they aren't
gone already.

Yes !

There goes Lset and Rset, if they aren't gone already.

These methods are still supported. However, they can only be used to use
space characters as padding character.
