Try repeatstring() for your padding. A function shouldnt be to hard to
write for that though to make it easier. Here's a shot at one....
<cfscript>
function str_pad (str1, str2, count, dir)
{
validDirections = "left,rigtht,r,l,both";
newstr = '';
if(dir is 'left' or dir is 'l')
{
//pad the left
newstr = repeatstring(str2, count) & str1;
}
else if (dir is 'right' or dir is 'r')
{
// padd the rirght
newstr = str1 & repeatstring(str2, count);
}
else
{
//pad both sides
newstr = repeatstring(str2, count) & str1 &
repeatstring(str2, count);
}
return newstr;
}
</cfscript>
<cfoutput>
[#str_pad ('Alien', ' ', 10, 'right')#]<br>
[#str_pad ('Alien', '-=', 10, 'left')#]<br>
[#str_pad ('Alien', '_', 10, 'both')#]<br>
[#str_pad ('Alien', '_', 6, 'right')#]<br>
<hr>
[Alien#repeatstring(' ', 10)#]<br>
[#repeatstring('-=', 10)#Alien]<br>
[#repeatstring('_', 10)#Alien#repeatstring('_', 10)#]<br>
[#repeatstring('_', 6)#Alien]<br>
</cfoutput>
As for the A = array(1732584193, 4023233417, 2562383102, 271733878,
3285377520);
<cfset a = arraynew(1) />
<cfset a[1] = '1732584193' />
<cfset a[2] = '4023233417' />
<cfset a[3] = '2562383102' />
<cfset a[4] = '271733878' />
....would make an array with the same values
list(a,b,c,d,e)=A;
that would just be...
<cfset a = "a,b,c,d,e" />

Thanks Andrew, I will try your struct example.
Do you have any ideas regarding str_pad()
It takes three arguments, 1)the string to pad 2) the pad length and 3)
the padding
What it does is pad the string on the right with the specified padding
at the specified length. Here is an example from the manual:
<?php
$input = "Alien";
echo str_pad($input, 10); // produces "Alien "
echo str_pad($input, 10, "-=", STR_PAD_LEFT); // produces "-=-=-Alien"
echo str_pad($input, 10, "_", STR_PAD_BOTH); // produces "__Alien___"
echo str_pad($input, 6 , "___"); // produces "Alien_"
?>
