    Hi Alex,

    There is no function out of the box to do what you asking, at least I'm not aware of. However, you can always write new one.

    Here is small example I built for you:

    str myMagicStrRep(str _source, str _strRep, int _number)
    {
        int sourceLength = strLen(_source);
        int strRepLength = strLen(_strRep);
        int repCount;
        
        if (_number < 1 || !strRepLength)
        {
            return '';
        }
        
        if (sourceLength > _number) 
        {
            return  subStr(_source, 1, _number);
        }
        
        repCount = (_number div strRepLength) + 1;
                
        return subStr(strRep( _strRep, repCount), 1, _number - sourceLength) + _source;
    }
    
    info (myMagicStrRep('Alex','strRep', 15));


    It's not ideal and you definitely could improve it, but I think you will get an idea.

    Hi Alex

    Another options is to use the .NET Framework CLR type.

    msdn.microsoft.com/.../cc584291.aspx

    Below an example that for sure can improve and become an Global Function :

       System.String       string, replaceChar;

       str                         finalString, fixedString = 'Alex';

       int                         stringLenght = 10;

       // Your version

       info(strRFix('Alex',stringLenght,'*'));

       //////////////////

       replaceChar = "X";

       string = New System.String(replaceChar.get_Chars(0), stringLenght);

       string = string.Replace(replaceChar, "*");

       finalString = string.ToString();

       finalString = subStr(finalString, 1, stringLenght - strLen(fixedString) ) + fixedString;

       Info (finalString);
