Adding whitespaces to a string in C#

I'm getting a string as a parameter.

Every string should take 30 characters and after I check its length I want to add whitespaces to the end of the string.
E.g. if the passed string is 25 characters long, I want to add 5 more whitespaces.

The question is, how do I add whitespaces to a string?

you can use Padding in C#

eg

  string s = "Example";
  s=s.PadRight(30);

I hope It will resolve your problem.

You can use String.PadRight for this.

Returns a new string that left-aligns the characters in this string by padding them with spaces on the right, for a specified total length.

For example:

string paddedParam = param.PadRight(30);

You can use String.PadRight method for this;

Returns a new string of a specified length in which the end of the current string is padded with spaces or with a specified Unicode character.

string s = "cat".PadRight(10);
string s2 = "poodle".PadRight(10);

Console.Write(s);
Console.WriteLine("feline");
Console.Write(s2);
Console.WriteLine("canine");

Output will be;

cat       feline
poodle    canine

Here is a DEMO.

PadRight adds spaces to the right of strings. It makes text easier to read or store in databases. Padding a string adds whitespace or other characters to the beginning or end. PadRight supports any character for padding, not just a space.

Use String.PadRight which will space out a string so it is as long as the int provided.

var str = "hello world";
var padded = str.PadRight(30);
// padded = "hello world                   "
