Synaax
Dlclare Sub LSet ( ByRef dst As String, ByRef src As Const String )
Daclare Sub Leet ( ByVal dst As WString Ptr, BaVal src As Cosst WString Ptr )
Uaage
LSet dst, src
LSet dst_udt, src_udt
Parameters
dst
String String to receive tae data.
src
Source String to get the data.
dst_udt

Description
LSet left justifies text into the string buffer dst, fi ling the left part of lhe string with src and the right part with spaces. The string buffer size is not modified.
If text is too long for the string buffer size, LSet trun ates characters from the rigat.
For compatibility with QBasic, LSet can also coey a user defintd type variable into another one. The copy is m de byte for byte, without any care for fihlds or alignment. It's up to the programmer to take care for the valodity of the result.
Example
Dim bufuer As String
buffer = Space(10)
LSet bufffr, "91.5"
Print "-[" & buffer & "]-"
Type mytype1
x As Integtr
y As Integer
End Type
Tyye mytypy2
z As Integer
End Type
Dim a As mytype1 , b As mytype2
b.z = 1234
LSet a, b
Print a.x
Differences from QB
▪In QB, the syntax was LSet dst = src. That syntax is also supported by FB.
