String(length, character) Example MyString = String(3, "T") 'returns "TTT" MyString = String(5, "?") 'returns "?????" |

But since all characters are a different width (depending on font), I decided it would be better to use a proper string. But still, it was just bugging me what the darn keyword was! :) |
