Data::Unixish::rpad(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation Data::Unixish::rpad(3)

Data::Unixish::rpad - Pad text to the right until a certain column width

This document describes version 1.572 of Data::Unixish::rpad (from Perl distribution Data-Unixish), released on 2019-10-26.

In Perl:

 use Data::Unixish qw(lduxl);
 my @res = lduxl([rpad => {width=>6}],"123", "1234");
 # => ("123   ", "1234  ")

In command line:

 % echo -e "123\n1234" | dux rpad -w 6 -c x --format=text-simple
 123xxx
 1234xx

Usage:

 rpad(%args) -> [status, msg, payload, meta]

Pad text to the right until a certain column width.

This function can handle text containing wide characters and ANSI escape codes.

Note: to pad to a certain character length instead of column width (note that wide characters like Chinese can have width of more than 1 column in terminal), you can turn of "mb" option even when your text contains wide characters.

This function is not exported.

Arguments ('*' denotes required arguments):

  • ansi => bool (default: 0)

    Whether to handle ANSI escape codes.

  • char => str (default: " ")

    Character to use for padding.

    Character should have column width of 1. The default is space (ASCII 32).

  • in => array

    Input stream (e.g. array or filehandle).

  • mb => bool (default: 0)

    Whether to handle wide characters.

  • out => any

    Output stream (e.g. array or filehandle).

  • trunc => bool (default: 0)

    Whether to truncate text wider than specified width.

  • width* => int

Returns an enveloped result (an array).

First element (status) is an integer containing HTTP status code (200 means OK, 4xx caller error, 5xx function error). Second element (msg) is a string containing error message, or 'OK' if status is 200. Third element (payload) is optional, the actual result. Fourth element (meta) is called result metadata and is optional, a hash that contains extra information.

Return value: (any)
