[Gambas-user] Lenght of a string

[José Monteiro]

len("José Antônio") = 14
I need to fill a text file and upload it to a system in order to make an
invoice.
The field "name" must have lenght = 115. If shorter than that you must
complement it with spaces.
So:

 for i = 1 to (115 - len(name))
   name = name & Space$(1)
 next

The result is --> "José Antônio" + 101 spaces

But, in the text file, "José Antônio" + 101 spaces is considered as having
lenght = 113, not 115.
The text file, then, is rejected by the system, because the following fields
are not being correctly interpreted.
Any sugestions?
Thanks in advance
