string-pad - pad strings to a fixed width
|
|
=========================================
|

Synopsis
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
.. BEGIN SYNOPSIS
|
|
|
|
``string`` pad [**-r** | **--right**] [**-c** | **--char** *CHAR*] [**-w** | **--width** *INTEGER*]
|
|
\ \ [*STRING*...]
|
|
|
|
.. END SYNOPSIS

|
|
Description
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
.. BEGIN DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
``string pad`` extends each STRING to the given visible width by adding CHAR to the left. That means the width of all visible characters added together, excluding escape sequences and accounting for $fish_emoji_width and $fish_ambiguous_width. It is the amount of columns in a terminal the STRING occupies.
|
|
|
|
The escape sequences reflect what *fish* knows about, and how it computes its output. Your terminal might support more escapes, or not support escape sequences that fish knows about.
|
|
|
|
If ``-r`` or ``--right`` is given, add the padding after a string.
|
|
|
|
If ``-c`` or ``--char`` is given, pad with CHAR instead of whitespace.
|
|
|
|
The output is padded to the maximum width of all input strings. If ``-w`` or ``--width`` is given, use at least that.

|
|
- The :ref:`printf <cmd-printf>` command can do simple padding, for example ``printf %10s\n`` works like ``string pad -w10``.
|
|
|
|
- :ref:`string length <cmd-string-length>` with the ``--visible`` option can be used to show what fish thinks the width is.
