Layer: 1
Format: SetLength( str, length )
Platforms: C++, C#, Javascript, Pascal, PHP, Python
This resizes the specified string to be the specified length. If the length is
smaller than the current string, the string is truncated. If the length is longer
than the string, the string is right-padded with spaces to the specified length.
In Pascal, this is only defined if the version of Pascal being used does not provide the function.
Note: In Python, the passed string is not modified - instead, the function returns
the string with the specified length.
