ARRANGE_STRING(1) ARRANGE_STRING(1) NAME arrange_string() - arranges a string to a given length SYNOPSIS string arrange_string(string str, int x) DESCRIPTION Passed a string and a length, this function returns the original string either cut to or extended to the length specified by the second argument. If the length of the original string is longer than the length specified, then all characters beyond the length specified are cut off. If the length is less than the original string's length, then the original string is padded with spaces so that it ends up being as long as the length specified. EXAMPLES o arrange_string("resistence is futile", 25) returns "resistence is futile " o arrange_string("gurble", 2) returns "gu" NOTES Do not use this function inside the mudlib, as it is slow. Instead use sprintf(). This sefun exists to make life easy on creators. LOCATION /secure/sefun/strings.c SEE ALSO center(), wrap() Author Descartes of Borg 1
