proc string_pad {orig {num 1} {char " "} {side front} } {
# pad string on either side with a number of characters
set pad [string repeat $char $num]
switch $side {
beginning - front {return $pad$orig}
back - end {return $orig$pad}
default {return $orig}
}
}
set s "Hello World!"
set s [string_pad $s 20 { } front]
proc string_pad {orig {num 1} {char " "} {side front} } {
# pad string on either side with a number of characters
set pad [string repeat $char $num]
switch $side {
