Lets say I have a String var which can contain values of different lengths e.g.
"aaa"  or "bb bb bb".

I want to print them out with System.out.println right-justified with a field width
of 12 chars. If necessary this field should be left padded with blanks.
For the samples above the output should be e.g.:

"         aaa"
and
"    bb bb bb"

How can I implement this right-justified, blank padded, fixed-width filed output in Java?

Write a string padding function. Java doesn't have one, so you'd have
to write your own. Search on this group for "string padding"
I found this:
