Hi,
I am trying to convert a | delimited file to fixed width by right
padding with spaces, Here is how I have written the program , just get
the feeling this can be done in a much better ( python functional )
way rather than the procedural code i have below . Any help
appreciated
#!/usr/bin/python
def rightFill(fillString, toLength, fillChar):
return fillString+''.join([fillChar for x in range(len
(fillString),toLength)])
Ugh. That should be the same as
return fillString + (toLength-length(fillString))*fillChar
Ugh. That should be the same as
return fillString.ljust(toLength, fillChar)
(and there's no function length()) ;-)
