Packing A string to a set length

Question

Hi All I have a string that I need to be a set length (8) I need a method of packing out the string to be 8 characters long. If the input string 12 I need the packing to be 12000000 if the string is 1234 the packing to be 12340000. I have either asked or told someone how to do this but can't find the method in any of my files! (FRUSTRATING!!!!) Glenn Hmmm .PadRight ???? found MSDN any help?

Hi Glenn consider this code: String str = abc; str = str.PadRight(8 '0'); now string str is holding abc00000 as you need! If the str is empty the result will be 00000000.

Check this static void Main(string[] args) { string s = 12; string s1 = 1234; Console.WriteLine(s.PadRight(8 '0')); Console.WriteLine(s1.PadRight(8 '0')); Console.Read(); }
