Hi Sandrine,

Check if this works.
  
string strText='test';
Integer diffLength=10-strText.length();
if(strText.length()==10){
   strText=strText.substring(0,10); 
}else{
    for(integer i=0;i<diffLength ;i++){
   strText = strText+'O';    
    }
}
system.debug('strText=>'+strText);

Hi Sandrine,

Please check the code below :
  
public class Append_characters {
    public static void charactersAppend()
    {
    String str= 'aaaa';
    Integer strLength = str.length();
    Integer diffOfChar=10-strLength;
    if(strLength != 10)
    {
        for(integer i=0;i<diffOfChar ;i++)
        {
            str = str+'O'; 
        }
    }
    else
    {
        str=str.substring(0,10);
    }
    system.debug('Result is::::'+str);
    }
}
