Method deprecated or moved

This method is deprecated or moved on the latest stable version. The last existing version (v2.1.0) is shown here.

ljust(str, integer, padstr=' ')
public

Works just like String#ljust, only integer specifies characters instead of bytes.

Example: 

  "¾ cup".chars.rjust(8).to_s
  # => "¾ cup   "

  "¾ cup".chars.rjust(8, " ").to_s # Use non-breaking whitespace
  # => "¾ cup   "
