How To: Left Pad with Blank/Space
« on: August 10, 2014, 04:15:33 pm »

I find in many MC fields the left side of the string has the blank/spaces removed. How do I add or force a space to exist on the left side of a string? The information is an example not to be taken literally.

Currently:
i.e., If( expressionTrue,       True ,) ---> "True " <-- undesirable

Desired:
i.e., If( expressionTrue,  True ,) ---> " True " <-- desired

Thanks

Add a slash before the space /

One way (maybe not the most elegant) to correct any tags, for example the [name] field:
Right click on the [name] entry and choose rename (or left-click on it and hit F2)
Then type:

=/ [name]

Repeat for other tags. Batch select affected files.
