Hi,

I'm new at using Crystal Reports.

I am trying to pad a string out to a set length of 50. The initial string is of variable size depending on the data in the field.

Can anyone tell me how I can do this using a while do loop.

ie while field length < 50 add a space to field until field length = 50.

Thanks for that. Managed to work out how to do with while do but this will be helpful for future.

No need to loop, use ReplicateString.left({table.field} & ReplicateString(" ", 50), 50)
