# LSet Statement

Aligns a string to the left of a string variable, or copies a variable of a user-defined type to another variable of a different user-defined type.

### Syntax:

    LSet Var As String = Text or LSet Var1 = Var2

### Parameters:

Var: Any String variable that contains the string that you want align to the left.

Text: String that you want to align to the left of the string variable.

Var1: Name of the user-defined type variable that you want to copy to.

Var2: Name of the user-defined type variable that you want to copy from.

If the string is shorter than the string variable, LSet left-aligns the string within the string variable. Any remaining positions in the string variable are replaced by spaces. If the string is longer than the string variable, only the leftmost characters up to the length of the string variable are copied. With the LSet statement, you can also copy a user-defined type variable to another variable of the same type.

### Example:

    Sub ExampleRLSet
    Dim sVar As String
    Dim sExpr As String
        sVar = String(40,"*")
        sExpr = "SBX"
        REM Align "SBX" within the 40-character reference string
        REM Replace asterisks with spaces
        RSet sVar = sExpr
        Print ">"; sVar; "<"
        sVar = String(5,"*")
        sExpr = "123457896"
        RSet sVar = sExpr
        Print ">"; sVar; "<"
        sVar = String(40,"*")
        sExpr = "SBX"
        REM Left-align "SBX" within the 40-character reference string
        LSet sVar = sExpr
        Print ">"; sVar; "<"
        sVar = String(5,"*")
        sExpr = "123456789"
        LSet sVar = sExpr
        Print ">"; sVar; "<"
    End Sub
