    "events": [

input.events.forEach(event => {
    const name = ((event.name?.length) ?? 0) ? (' ' + event.name + ' ') : '';
    const location = ((event.location?.length) ?? 0) ? (' ' + event.location + ' ') : '';
    const date = ((event.date?.length) ?? 0) ? (' ' + event.date + ' ') : '';

    const toPadCount = input.columns - 2 - (name.length) - (location.length) - (date.length)
    const lspaces = Math.floor(input.columns/2-(name.length)) - Math.floor(location.length / 2); 
    const rspaces = toPadCount - lspaces; 
    console.log(`${input.padChar}${name}${input.padChar.repeat(lspaces)}${location}${input.padChar.repeat(rspaces)}${date}${input.padChar}`);
});
console.log(`${input.padChar.repeat(input.columns)}`);

Getting there. Misses the spaces around the words and the upper and downer line though.

Done.

No spaces yet :)

Thanks, I should have read more carefully.....not just flying over the sample, not even realizing there were spaces....

That's the trick :)

Not yet :)
