'Number To Decimal String Function' should have selectable padding character

Status: Declined

Any idea that has received less than 4 kudos within 4 years after posting will be automatically declined.

Currently this function pads numer strings of a set width with space characters.

 

It would be useful to be able to select the character to pad with, for exaple zero '0'.

 

I understand there are workarounds such as search-and-replace after the fact, but it could be more efficient.

 

Using LabVIEW 2013.

Format Into String will allow the 0 padding instead of the space.
