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
