Message:

StringBuffer cannot be empty

Posted by Eric Allan Lucas on June 21, 2000 at 7:46 PM

I very much appreciate your answer. I tried the example and it
does exactly what you say. Unfortunately, I need a string which
is initialized to contain ascii spaces. Sometimes hundreds of
them. These will be concatenated (appended in java-speak)
to form a fixed length record for transmission to another
system.

Thanks again but I'm not fixed yet.
