There is no such thing as a 'default string length', maybe zero, but that isn't
its default length. Read the API documentation for the String class and note
that Strings are immutable objects. Also have a look at the StringBuilder class.

kind regards,

what i mean is that if i insert a string, which is "java".can i increase the length the string into 24 char after some operation?

Maybe you mean StringBuffer?!! StringBuffer can change its current allocated length and it is extendable...

After this implementation, you can convert it directly to String...

nope.string buffer need you to manually input the char that we want to.in my case i want "some" process which can help the string to be expand to 24 char by the process automatically.

There's not a lot of automagic in programming! It's also still not clear what your context is, but gazing into my crystal ball, I see a need to format fixed width columns of output. Formatter is designed to support that:

http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/util/Formatter.html

Format methods also pop up in java.io.PrintWr iter and PrintStream (aka System.out).

If i were to implement that,

If i have a string "anything" and in the process should add 24 char, i will convert my string into char array by not using toCharArray, i will allocate the char array in length of anything + 24, then copy the characters into char array...

charr[x] = string.charAt(x);

After that, convert the char array into String...

If this is too far again to your idea, then i can't help you as of now...
