<static> Pad(str, [len], [pad], [dir])

Description:

Takes the given string and pads it out, to the length required, using the character specified. For example if you need a string to be 6 characters long, you can call:

pad('bob', 6, '-', 2)

This would return: bob--- as it has padded it out to 6 characters, using the - on the right.

You can also use it to pad numbers (they are always returned as strings):

pad(512, 6, '0', 1)

Would return: 000512 with the string padded to the left.

If you don't specify a direction it'll pad to both sides:

pad('c64', 7, '*')

Would return: **c64**
