creating a string after counting charatercs

Hi,

I´ve got the following problem: I want to check an attribute value for its
length (e.g. 17 chars) and then create a string with 17 identical
characters, like
"_________________". The string-length check on my attribute works pretty
well, but how do I get the string?

TIA,
Julia
