str_padding: Pad a string (with better defaults).

str_lpad(string, width, pad = " ")

str_rpad(string, width, pad = " ")

str_bpad(string, width, pad = " ")

Arguments

string	A character vector.
width	Minimum width of padded strings.
pad	Single padding character (default is a space).

a padded character vector.

  str_lpad("hadley", 30, "_"),
