Usage Notes
If padString is longer than one character and does not fit exactly into the resulting string, the beginning of padString is aligned with the beginning of the resulting string. For example, suppose inString equals shipped and padString equals x9y.
If length equals...
Then value will contain...
7
shipped
10
x9yshipped
