# Strings This module provides a few basic utilities to manipulate strings. ## Usage ### pad Input string is processed to output a string with a minimal length. If the parameter `strict` is set to true, the output string length is equal to the `strLen` parameter. Basic usage: ```ts import { pad } from "https://deno.land/std/strings/pad.ts"; pad("deno", 6, { char: "*", side: "left" }); // output : "**deno" pad("deno", 6, { char: "*", side: "right" }); // output : "deno**" pad("denosorusrex", 6, { char: "*", side: "left", strict: true, strictSide: "right", strictChar: "..." }); // output : "den..." ```
