Posted: 09/24/07 22:48:29 Hi, is there a simple way to set the value alignment component without creating a new format string. I look for a replacement of the Phobos "%*.*s" format string. Thanks KlausO

BTW, is there support for string padding alá http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa720379(VS.71).aspx. I found String.prepend() but thats not the same. Thanks KlausO
