The Columnize method is a static extension method in the SandboxSystemExtensions class. It formats a given string to fit within a specified maximum length by either padding it with spaces or truncating it, depending on the specified parameters. This method is useful for aligning text in a columnar format, such as in console applications or text-based UIs.
To use the Columnize method, call it on a string instance, passing the maximum length for the column and a boolean indicating whether to right-align the text. If the string is shorter than the specified length, it will be padded with spaces. If it is longer, it will be truncated.
Parameters:
str (System.String): The input string to be formatted.maxLength (System.Int32): The maximum length of the resulting string.right (System.Boolean): If true, the string will be right-aligned; otherwise, it will be left-aligned.// Example usage of the Columnize method string input = "Hello, World!"; int maxLength = 20; bool rightAlign = true; string result = SandboxSystemExtensions.Columnize(input, maxLength, rightAlign); // result will be " Hello, World!" (right-aligned with spaces)
