Suppose I have the following string variables:
s1 = "0000"
s2 = "13"
I would like to copy the contents of s2 and insert it
into s1 in a right justified manner. So, the final
result of s1 would be:
s1 = "0013"

I overlooked a few situations.
Suppose that the s1 variable contains 4 space character
(or ANY characters, for that matter):
s1 = " " ' string with 4 spaces
s2 = "13"
Now, I would want s1 to look like:
s1 = " 13"

Generally:

s1 = Left(s1,Len(s1)-Len(s2)) & s2

or

s1 = IIf(Len(s1)<Len(s2),s2,Left(s1,Len(s1)-Len(s2)) & s2)

But you might not need to "preload" s1 at all, if that is what you are
doing.

Suppose n is the total length. Then:

s1 = String(n - Len(s2),fillCharacter) & s2
