    I see it's a continuation of your other questions about TextStreamIo.
     
    Simply add extra spaces to values before writing them to TextStreamIo. For example:
    strLFix('sdfsdf,', 13)

    Note that F&O comes with a data management framework, which supports export to both delimited and fixed-width text files.
     
    I also successfully used FixedWidthParserWriter when dealing with fixed-width text files in Azure Functions.

    There is nothing like a number with spaces. It must be a string.
     
    You already know how to deal with strings, therefore the solution is obvious: convert numbers to strings and use strLFix() (or strRFix()).
