string question :/

I have string example = "something"
How to add to this variable example 10 blank spaces?
This would be result example = "something "
Your example doesn't seem to match your description. Surely, if you're adding 10 blank spaces it would be "something ".

Nevertheless, the append() of the C++ string class adds values to the end of a string.

EDIT: Thought I'd best add an example...

string example = "something";

example.append( 10, " " );


Double edit: Ha, I didn't realise that the formatting on this forum would bin off the trailing spaces. My apologies.

string example = "something";
for (int i=0;i<10;++i)
{
 example += " ";
}
I write wrong. This would be result example = "something [10] blank spaces behind]"
Both iHutch and myself gave an answer that would produce what you've asked for. It would turn this:
"something"
into
"something          "
