DBSuperPadString(container, width, padChar, justify)

This function is used to pad strings and columns of strings (separated by returns). By combining DBSuperPadString and DBColumnMash with the results of DBGetMatchList, it's possible to build very complex tables of search results. Also DBSuperPadString can be used to pad out seek expressions for accurate searches.

The first parameter is the container to pad, width is the width to pad out to, padChar is a single character value that's padded onto the string. Justify can be "L" or "R" and determines whether the string is left or right justifed.
