csv="AAA,bbb,ccccc,d,e,f"
parse var csv v1 "," v2 "," v3 "," v4 "," v5 "," v6 "," .
txt = ""
txt = txt || left(v1,10," ")
txt = txt || left(v2,10," ")
txt = txt || left(v3,10," ")
txt = txt || left(v4,10," ")
txt = txt || left(v5,10," ")
txt = txt || left(v6,10," ")

Enrico's solution looks good, except the OP wanted the first value to be in position 10.
I think initial value of txt should be:
| Code: |
txt = copies(" ",9)
|
which will cause everything else to shift right |
