Why dont you trim the string first to ensure that there are no empty spaces
at the end and beginning of it

and then do your count.

Good day all
I have a txt file that has values from various strings written to it.
What Im looking for is the following
$name = "Chris';
I need to do a count on $name so that it returns 5 letters. Then before
writing it to the output file I
know that it has to be 40 charecters long before it gets written.
So I know its 5 now I need automatically add another 35 empty spaces to it
to make it 40 so that it makes the
$name like this
$name = "Chris "; <---- if I do a
count on this it should be 40 charecters long....
Can anyone help out here???
