Hello again,
Let say I have following string:
Vec <- c("sada", "asdsa", "sa")
Now I want to make each element of this vector with equal length.
Basically I want following vector:
c("sada ", "asdsa", "sa ")
Therefore we can get:
nchar(c("sada ", "asdsa", "sa "))
[1] 5 5 5 Is there any possiblity that we can do it programetically? Because I need to handle a really big vector. Thanks for your help.

library(stringr)
?str_pad(Vec,5,"right")
#[1] "sada " "asdsa" "sa?? "
#or
str_pad(Vec,max(nchar(Vec)),"right")
#[1] "sada " "asdsa" "sa?? "
str_count(str_pad(Vec,5,"right"),"")
#[1] 5 5 5

Basically I want following vector:

Therefore we can get:
nchar(c("sada ", "asdsa", "sa? "))

?format will by default, left justify and pad with spaces to the longest length element in the character vector:
Vec <- c("sada", "asdsa", "sa")
format(Vec)
[1] "sada " "asdsa" "sa " Regards, Marc Schwartz

In addition to Marc's suggestion:
sprintf("%-5s",Vec)
#[1] "sada " "asdsa" "sa?? "
?formatC(Vec,width=-5)
#[1] "sada " "asdsa" "sa?? "
formatC(Vec,width=5)
#[1] " sada" "asdsa" "?? sa"
format(Vec,justify="right")
#[1] " sada" "asdsa" "?? sa"
