Replicate() repeatedly displays, prints, or stuffs the keyboard with one or more characters. Replicate() is like the Space() function, which returns a specified number of space characters.
Examples
These examples demonstrate Replicate() repeating strings:
X#
1? Replicate("*", 5)                    // *****
2? Replicate("Hi ", 2)                // Hi Hi
3? Replicate(_Chr(42), 5)                // *****
This example uses Replicate() to stuff the keyboard with several Down arrow keys:
X#
1Keyboard(Replicate(_Chr(K_DN), 5))
