Golang : Aligning strings to right, left and center with fill example
Problem:
You are so used to Python way of aligning text strings such as ljust()
, rjust()
and center()
and Golang's text/tabwriter
is not what you are looking for. So how to align text strings in Golang?
Solution:
Write your own functions with help from strings.Repeat()
function. For example:
package main
import (
"fmt"
"strings"
)
func rightjust(s string, n int, fill string) string {
return strings.Repeat(fill, n) + s
}
func leftjust(s string, n int, fill string) string {
return s + strings.Repeat(fill, n)
}
func center(s string, n int, fill string) string {
div := n / 2
return strings.Repeat(fill, div) + s + strings.Repeat(fill, div)
}
func main() {
str := "Hello World!"
fmt.Println("Original : ", str)
fmt.Println("Adjust 20 spaces right : [" + rightjust(str, 20, " ") + "]")
fmt.Println("Adjust 20 spaces left : [" + leftjust(str, 20, " ") + "]")
fmt.Println("Center 10 spaces : [" + center(str, 20, " ") + "]")
fmt.Println("Center * fill : [" + center(str, 10, "*") + "]")
}
