Number conversion

[labview99]

Hi,

I am doing a program where I have to take two numbers from one array and I havet to concatenate them. The problem is, that when I take the number 2, it only takes the number 2 and I want to take 02. Is there any conversion, in Labview, to see the number 02 instead of number 2 only?

Best regards

After all your discussion threads you still haven't learned to provide an example VI with your input array and the expected output?

What exactly are you talking about? Which kind of array? Which datatypes?

Hi 99,

use FormatIntoString with a proper format code. Read the help for those format codes…

Use Format Into String with %02d.

%02.0f, %02x and %02o work as well for 2 of course.

You can't change a numeric value to 02, because the value is 2. It's only when showing the value (by converting it to a string or displaying it in an indicator) that the formatting specifies how it's being displayed.

If you don't want to convert the number to a string, but instead have a numeric control or indicator, change the formatting of the control or indicator (to %02d).
