How can I pad a QString with spaces on the end?
For example, I want a QString to be 4 characters in total, and it’s only 1 character long. I would like the last 3 to be spaces.

Strangely enough, there’s a function for specifically that called
QString::leftJustifiedhttp://doc.qt.io/qt-4.8/qstring.html#leftJustified
So
paddedString = originalString.leftJustified(4, ' ');would do the trick.(Note that you can also optionally truncate the string if it’s longer than your character limit by passing in a third parameter of
true.)
