UKismetStringLibrary::LeftPad
#include "Kismet/KismetStringLibrary.h"
Access: public
Specifiers: staticBlueprintPure
Description
Pads the left side of a string with spaces until it reaches the given total length. Used for aligning columns of text output.
Caveats & Gotchas
- • ChCount is the target total width, not the number of characters to add — if SourceString is already that long or longer, it is returned unchanged.
- • Padding always uses spaces; there is no way to specify a different pad character from Blueprint or C++.
