下面是我用于预填充字符串的简单的无api“可读脚本”版本。(简单，可读，可调)。

while(str.length() < desired_length)
  str = '0'+str;

有人尝试过这个纯Java解决方案吗(没有SpringUtils):

//decimal to hex string 1=> 01, 10=>0A,..
String.format("%1$2s", Integer.toString(1,16) ).replace(" ","0");
//reply to original question, string with leading zeros. 
//first generates a 10 char long string with leading spaces, and then spaces are
//replaced by a zero string. 
String.format("%1$10s", "mystring" ).replace(" ","0");

不幸的是，这个解决方案只有在字符串中没有空格时才有效。

public static void main(String[] args)
{
    String stringForTest = "Apple";
    int requiredLengthAfterPadding = 8;
    int inputStringLengh = stringForTest.length();
    int diff = requiredLengthAfterPadding - inputStringLengh;
    if (inputStringLengh < requiredLengthAfterPadding)
    {
        stringForTest = new String(new char[diff]).replace("\0", "0")+ stringForTest;
    }
    System.out.println(stringForTest);
}

 StringUtils.leftPad(yourString, 8, '0');

这来自commons-lang。看到javadoc

使用方法String::repeat的解决方案(Java 11)

String str = "Apple";
String formatted = "0".repeat(8 - str.length()) + str;

如果需要，将8更改为其他数字或将其参数化

你可能得处理edgecase。这是一个泛型方法。

public class Test {
    public static void main(String[] args){
        System.out.println(padCharacter("0",8,"hello"));
    }
    public static String padCharacter(String c, int num, String str){
        for(int i=0;i<=num-str.length()+1;i++){str = c+str;}
        return str;
    }
}
