Format Codes
if you want to pad a string to a certain length with spaces, use something like this:
String padded = String.format("%-20s", str);
In a formatter, " % " introduces a format sequence.
The " - " means that the string will be left-justified (spaces will be added at the end of the string).
The " 20" means the resulting string will be 20 characters long.
The " s" is the character string format code, and ends the format sequence.
The " - " means that the string will be left-justified (spaces will be added at the end of the string).
