填充到10个字符:

String.format("%10s", "foo").replace(' ', '*');
String.format("%-10s", "bar").replace(' ', '*');
String.format("%10s", "longer than 10 chars").replace(' ', '*');

输出:

  *******foo
  bar*******
  longer*than*10*chars

密码字符显示“*”:

String password = "secret123";
String padded = String.format("%"+password.length()+"s", "").replace(' ', '*');

输出与密码字符串长度相同:

  secret123
  *********

为此编写自己的函数可能比其他答案更简单。

private static String padRight(String str, String padChar, int n) {

    String paddedString = str;

    while (paddedString.length() < n) {

        paddedString = padChar + str;

    }

    return paddedString;

}

private static String padLeft(String str, String padChar, int n) {

    String paddedString = str;

    while (paddedString.length() < n) {

        paddedString += padChar;

    }

    return paddedString;

}

如此:

"".format("%1$-" + 9 + "s", "XXX").replaceAll(" ", "0")

它会用空白填充你的字符串XXX，最多9个字符。在此之后，所有空格将被替换为0。你可以把空格和0改为任何你想要的…

很多人都有一些非常有趣的技巧，但我喜欢保持简单，所以我用这个:

public static String padRight(String s, int n, char padding){
    StringBuilder builder = new StringBuilder(s.length() + n);
    builder.append(s);
    for(int i = 0; i < n; i++){
        builder.append(padding);
    }
    return builder.toString();
}

public static String padLeft(String s, int n,  char padding) {
    StringBuilder builder = new StringBuilder(s.length() + n);
    for(int i = 0; i < n; i++){
        builder.append(Character.toString(padding));
    }
    return builder.append(s).toString();
}

public static String pad(String s, int n, char padding){
    StringBuilder pad = new StringBuilder(s.length() + n * 2);
    StringBuilder value = new StringBuilder(n);
    for(int i = 0; i < n; i++){
        pad.append(padding);
    }
    return value.append(pad).append(s).append(pad).toString();
}

s =字符串填充 n =期望长度 c = Char到pad

private String padStart( String s, int n, char c ){
    if( n <= 0 ) return s;
    else return String.format("%" + n + "s", s).replace(' ', c);
}
