Body:	When generating text-based e-mails, there is the need to display data in a "table" format. To do this, you must pad the strings with space so that they are a specific length. To do that, use a simple function like this one. Function FitSpace(str, max) Dim out If Len(str) > max Then out = Left(str, max - 3) & "..." Else out = str End If If max > Len(str) Then out = str & Space(max - Len(str)) End If FitSpace = out End Function To use it, you would do: Dim s s = "This is 30 characters234567890XXXXX" s = FitSpace(s, 30) Response.Write chr(34) & s & Chr(34)
