I would suggest the 2-argument version of 'String',
which creates left or right aligned strings,
depending on
and fills up with whitespace.
Here is an example.
gap> for i in [ 1 .. 6 ] do Print( String( 10^i, 6 ), "\n" ); od;
10
100
1000
10000
100000
1000000
gap> for i in [ 1 .. 6 ] do Print( String( 10^i, -6 ), ".\n" ); od;
10 .
100 .
1000 .
10000 .
100000.
1000000.
All the best,
Thomas
