pyflink.table.expression.Expression.lpad

Expression.lpad(length: Union[int, pyflink.table.expression.Expression[int]], pad: Union[str, pyflink.table.expression.Expression[str]]) → pyflink.table.expression.Expression[str]

Returns a string left-padded with the given pad string to a length of len characters. If the string is longer than len, the return value is shortened to len characters. e.g. lit(‘hi’).lpad(4, ‘??’) returns ‘??hi’, lit(‘hi’).lpad(1, ‘??’) returns ‘h’
