用零填充:

String.format("|%020d|", 93); // prints: |00000000000000000093|

从Java 11开始，string. repeat(int)可以用来左右填充给定的字符串。

System.out.println("*".repeat(5)+"apple");
System.out.println("apple"+"*".repeat(5));

输出:

*****apple
apple*****

我花了一点时间才想明白。 真正的关键是阅读Formatter文档。

// Get your data from wherever.
final byte[] data = getData();
// Get the digest engine.
final MessageDigest md5= MessageDigest.getInstance("MD5");
// Send your data through it.
md5.update(data);
// Parse the data as a positive BigInteger.
final BigInteger digest = new BigInteger(1,md5.digest());
// Pad the digest with blanks, 32 wide.
String hex = String.format(
    // See: http://download.oracle.com/javase/1.5.0/docs/api/java/util/Formatter.html
    // Format: %[argument_index$][flags][width]conversion
    // Conversion: 'x', 'X'  integral    The result is formatted as a hexadecimal integer
    "%1$32x",
    digest
);
// Replace the blank padding with 0s.
hex = hex.replace(" ","0");
System.out.println(hex);

public static String padLeft(String in, int size, char padChar) {                
    if (in.length() <= size) {
        char[] temp = new char[size];
        /* Llenado Array con el padChar*/
        for(int i =0;i<size;i++){
            temp[i]= padChar;
        }
        int posIniTemp = size-in.length();
        for(int i=0;i<in.length();i++){
            temp[posIniTemp]=in.charAt(i);
            posIniTemp++;
        }            
        return new String(temp);
    }
    return "";
}

这里有一个并行版本的你有很长的字符串:-)

int width = 100;
String s = "129018";

CharSequence padded = IntStream.range(0,width)
            .parallel()
            .map(i->i-(width-s.length()))
            .map(i->i<0 ? '0' :s.charAt(i))
            .collect(StringBuilder::new, (sb,c)-> sb.append((char)c), (sb1,sb2)->sb1.append(sb2));

除了Apache Commons，还请参阅String。格式，应该能够照顾简单的填充(例如与空格)。
