Arguments

str, ins	String to be modified, to insert.
space	Integer, resulting length of padded string.

with	String to pad with, will be repeated as often as necessary.
point	Integer, place of insertion. Appending is done for default value.

Value

pad, justify: The string padded with with.

insstr The string contained in ins inserted after character number point of str.

justify(just="r") right-justified,

just="none" returns str unchanged.
