Re: Simple way to create a big string of blanks?

["Michael Newberry" <mnewberry@...>]

You mean like string.rep()? No, I'm wanting to avoid concatenations as much 
as possible. Sure I could do something like make a literal string of 100 and 
then concetenate 25 of them, but the number of bytes is arbitrary.
