Hiya is there a function supplied with VB (i cant find one) that will fill a string with x amount of whatever character you specify

For example

at the mo i'm doing


for x = min to max
str = str & " "
next x

which is fine

but is there a function that allows you to add a string to another string, x amount of times, as i'd rather not do a loop each time

i.e.

AddStr(strOriginal,strToBeAdded,23)

would append strToBeAdded onto strOriginal 23 times
