Left-padding in Powershell

 / Published in: Windows PowerShell
 

For clarity, I have broken two variables out, but this could easily be a one-liner. Usage: Replace X with the character you wish to use to pad (e.g. 0 (zero)). Replace Y with an integer representing the desired TOTAL length of the string.

Expand | Embed | Plain Text 
  1. $padChar = "X"
  2. $paddedLength = Y
  3. $stringToPad = ($padChar * ($paddedLength - $stringToPad)) + $stringToPad
