Space Function

Returns a string consisting of the specified number of spaces.

Syntax

Public Function Space(ByVal iCount As Integer) As String

Remarks

If the argument iCount is less than zero, a runtime error occurs.

The function Space is useful for formatting and correctly aligning a string for display purposes or to reserve memory space in a string that will be passed as a parameter to an external C function.

If you want to fill a string with a character other than a space, you should use the function String.
