As commented in http://www.autohotkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2760, there don't seem to be any command for "filling" a string with one single character (see example).

This command would be very useful if you want to transform multiple strings (with different length) into strings with the same length.

Although the need seems to rare to justify a new command, the ability to call functions is planned for the near future. When this is done, you can #Include a file containing your favorite functions, one of which can be something like:

FillVar(MyVar, "Z", 20) ; Fill up any remaining space in MyVar with Z's (up to a length of 20).

You or someone else would have to actually write the function.

It is actually a 2-liner.
