Setting Up the Analytic Model
string rpad(string, int, string)
The output will contain only 0-9 and
(upper case) A-F, no spaces and is twice
as many bytes as the original string.
removes a whitespace prefix from a
string. The Whitespace characters may
be specified in an optional argument.
This functions operates on raw bytes of
the UTF8-string and has no knowledge
of multi byte codes (you may not
specify multi byte whitespace
characters).
removes trailing whitespace from a
string. The Whitespace characters may
be specified in an optional argument.
This functions operates on raw bytes of
the UTF8-string and has no knowledge

removes whitespace from the beginning
and end of a string.
add whitespace to the left of a string. A
second string argument specifies the
whitespace which will be added
repeatedly until the string has reached
the intended length. If no second string
argument is specified, chr(32) (' ') will
be added. This function operated on
UTF-8 bytes and has no knowledge of
unicode characters (neither for the
whitespace string nor for length
computation).
add whitespace to the end of a string. A
second string argument specifies the
