I have added text in a named buffer using insert.
(insert " Line Wrap ")
(insert " Karl Koch ")
(insert " Microsk Spez ")
I would like to have an elisp function that inserts text inside a a string
of a specific size to avoid having to introduce leading or trailing spaces.
Thus something like this for text of width 15
(insert-w "Line Wrap" 15)
(insert-w "Karl Koch" 15)
(insert-w "Microsk Spez" 15)

`string-pad' pads a string to particular length:
(string-pad "Karl Koch" 15)
returns
"Karl Koch "
See describe-function for details

(string-pad STRING LENGTH &optional PADDING START)
You can use the argument "START"
(string-pad "Test" 15 nil t)
returns
" Test"
