Question

Tried searching in the Java String API with no answer.

I am trying to create Java strings with a specified size. I noticed that Java Strings do not end in the null character (\0). Basically, I would like to be able to create strings such as:

String myString = new String("Charles", 32);

where myString will contain "Charles <-- 24 spaces --> \0"

There is no such method that can achieve what I have above. Should I just rely on creating my own function to do so?

Thanks

Answer 1

String myString = String.format("%1$-" + 32 + "s", "Charles");
