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?

package confusing;

public class Main
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
String blank = " ";
String sample = "bb bb bb";

System.out.println(blank.substring(0,
blank.length() - sample.length()) + sample);
}
}
