Pad Text

Automation Workshop includes the Pad Text Action that allows padding a text string by adding user defined characters on the left or right side of the text string until it reaches the chosen total length. The padded text string is stored into a variable which is then available for use as a parameter to any following Action within the Task.

Features & highlights

  • Pad a number with leading or trailing zeros.
  • Pad all variable values to uniform length.
  • The default padding character is 0 on the leading side (left).
