put spaces with some key to value

Question

I use the following code to add space inside the inverted commas for some value ,there is nicer/elegant way to do it ?

text: x.fullPath + "                           " + x.name

Can you explain logic of space addition? – Rajesh Dec 28 '15 at 13:33 — Rajesh, Dec 28 '15 at 13:33
How many space do you want to add in between? – Parkash Kumar Dec 28 '15 at 13:33 — Parkash Kumar, Dec 28 '15 at 13:33

You can create a function which return the string joining the two values with the given number of space.

text: addSpace(x.fullPath, x.name, 5)

Will give you a new string joining these two values with 5 spaces.

You can use this function or

function addSpace(stringA, stringB, spaces){
   return x.fullPath + Array(spaces).join(" ") + x.name;
}

@Mark have you created one? – void Dec 28 '15 at 13:37
How would you suggest to do it elegantly,this was my question :) – Dec 28 '15 at 13:39
@Mark thats what i have answered, check the updated code. – void Dec 28 '15 at 13:41
@CodeiSir hehe, i have given you credits :P , mark needs it badly. – void Dec 28 '15 at 13:43
@void well it's still wrong, but I prefere `Array(30).join(" ")` from my answer ;P – CoderPi Dec 28 '15 at 13:49

A simple way would be to use this:

text: x.fullPath + Array(30+1).join(" ") + x.name

where 30 is the amount of spaces

This would be a function:

// text: addSpace(x.fullPath, x.name, 5)

function addSpace(stringA, stringB, spaceCount) {
  var spaces = ""
  for (var i = 0; i < spaceCount; ++i) {
    spaces += " "
  }
  return stringA + spaces + stringB
}

// Demo
alert(addSpace("test1", "test2", 30))

Array.join puts spaces between the items in the array, which means `Array(30).join(" ")` will produce 29 spaces. – zzzzBov Dec 28 '15 at 13:57
@zzzzBov I overlooked that, thank you! - http://stackoverflow.com/a/1877479/4339170 – CoderPi Dec 28 '15 at 14:00
