Format one digit number into two digit numbers

[niva]

Hi,

I encounter a typical problem that consists in formatting all one digit numbers 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 to 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09.

I have read str(  func without finding good format option.

What is the easiest way to do this job ?

Thank you

Hi,

How do you create the string "1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9" ?

where does it come from ?

otherwise a .net step on RegEx will provied desired behaviour

From Date function, I got 1 or 2 or 3 or 4 or 5 .....number that I convert to string with str( func.

How can I format 1 or 2 or 3 to 01 or 02 etc.....

Hi,

I would do it this way:

Locals.nSecond = some where from Date()

Locals.strSecond = (Locals.nSecond < 10 ? "0" : "" ) + Str(Locals.nSecond)

Hope that helps

Here's an even simpler way:

Locals.string = Str(Locals.number, "%.2i")

Hi Doug,

it seems it is time for me to read Kernighan & Ritchie once again

Thanks for pointing out!

To get a better idea of the formats that TestStand supports, you can use the numeric format dialog (on a number variable). The dialog will tell you what the format string is for the options which you select.
