Android Question Repeating a String

[TestMyChess]

Hi,

Is there any inbuilt function to repeat a string? For example Repeat("spam ", 3) would return "spam spam spam ".

Obviously I could knock up my own but I have a feeling I'd be reinventing a wheel.

Thanks.

John

Hi John,

Although not an authority on B4A, I've played with it for a while now and I'm not aware of any such function.

Sub Repeat(mText As String, Num As Int) As String
   Dim Rstr =  "" As String
   For i = 0 To Num -1
        Rstr = Rstr & mText
   Next
   Return Rstr
End Sub

In addition to Margerite's post, here is a link to HotShoe's string library that does exactly what you want:

Looks like I have a choice of two libraries of string functions, MLStr and Margret's String Functions, plus the built in stuff. That should stop me having to reinvent too many wheels.
