[PATCH] formatting weakness in Class PatternConverter

[Frank-Olaf Lohmann DC]

Hello all,

following is a patch that corrects the formatting behaviour of the '-' switch if the 
string is longer than the maximum field length.
Current behaviour is the rightmost characters are displayed, as without the '-' switch.
Expected behaviour is the leftmost character are displayed.
