I am writing data to a file using a Java application, using bufferedwriter and filewriter classes. How do I?

Question

write empty spaces between fields of data, given that the length of those empty spaces would be say, (40 - length of field in data).
In VB it would have been like: Space(40 - field.length). What is the Space() counterpart in Java. Thanks

Thanks for the answer(s).
I did this:
String spaces = " ";
spaces.substring(0,40-str.length));
//Assuming length of (40-str.length) wont exceed length of string spaces

Answer 1

That will be a method that you write to extend a string by n spaces, probably using a stringBuffer that will return a string.
