Thanks!

<@PAD> is exactly what was needed...

A space is <@char 20>

Do you know the <@CHAR> for a space????

You could also use <@pad>.
<@left <@pad str="yourString" char=" " numchars=15 position=after> 15>

You could replace char=" " with char="&nbsp;" if necessary.

<@pad> was added in T2K SP1 and is described in the T2K_SP1_WhatsNew.pdf

I'd use something like:

<@VAR local$Len 15>
<@VAR local$Spaces "                                      ">

<@LEFT "<@VAR local$MyString><@VAR local$Spaces>" <@VAR local$Len>>

Of course, browsers ignore repeating spaces, so you'd also need to:

<@REPLACE STR="<@VAR foo$bar>" FINDSTR=" " REPLACESTR="&nbsp;'">

Is there a way to force spaces at the end of a <@COLUMN ""> returned
from a search? And if the number of charaters exceeds 28, to trim the
string? In other words, IF I wanted the length of the return to
always be 28 characters...

Example....
<@ROWS>
(<@COLUMN "Products.Name">)<br>
</@ROWS>

   (brackets are added to show the length of the string)
would return the following...


(Golf Clubs                  )
(Golf Tees                   )
(NEW Parker White Teeshirt fo)
(Kensington White Shirt      )
(Parker Pen                  )
(NEW White Womens Fleece Hand)

I know I can use <@substring> or the <@trim>s to truncate if the
length is over 28 charaters, but how about if it is under 28
characters?


Thanks!
