Nice, I didn't know that one could multiply strings by negative numbers without
error.
Thanks, but today I thought that maybe there might
be a solution for getting a field of a fixed length
that is even shorter. It uses Python's string
formatting, here in the form of an "f" string.
main.py
def f( result, length ):
# get a field with the given length from the string "result"
# - as used in postings from october
result = result[ :length ]
result += ' ' *( length - len( result ))
That can be done more compactly as:
result = result[ : length].ljust(length)
return result
