What Is Right-Pad Text?
Right padding adds one or more characters to the end of a string until it reaches a target length. It’s essential for text alignment, fixed-width formatting, report generation, receipts, tabular exports (CSV/TSV), and user interface lists. This online utility supports spaces, zeros, dots, dashes, emojis, and even multi-character patterns for professional typography and developer workflows.
How to Use
- Paste or type your content in the Input text area.
- Keep Enable Right Padding checked to activate padding.
- Set Pad Character(s) (e.g., space, 0, ., -,
->
, or 🟩). - Choose your Total Length (final width each line should reach).
- Use Line-by-line padding to process each line independently (recommended for lists).
- Review results in the Output area and use Copy Result or Download as TXT.
Pro Tips
- Data tables: Right-pad short entries so columns visually align in monospaced displays.
- Receipts & reports: Create dotted leaders (e.g., “Item……Price”).
- APIs & logs: Pad keys/labels for clean, scannable developer logs.
- Multi-char padding: Use patterns like
--
or->
; this tool repeats and trims precisely to target width. - Empty lines: Toggle “Preserve empty lines” to keep paragraph breaks intact.
FAQs
Q: Can I use more than one character for padding?
Yes. Enter any sequence (e.g., ->
or ..
). The tool will repeat and trim the sequence to match the exact width.
Q: What if my line is already longer than the target length?
It will be left as-is (no truncation). Increase the target length if you need wider output.
Q: Does this work on mobile?
Yes. The interface is responsive and works on phones, tablets, and desktops.
Q: Why can’t I see checkboxes on my blog?
Some themes hide native inputs. Here, checkboxes use explicit appearance
styles and accent-color
to force visibility in Blogger.
