Hi

I don't know if it's possible using the ADK or not but I have a score as an integer that I want to format to a string with leading zeros i.e. 123 would become "0123".???

There is a function for padding numbers in The Useful Community Functions pack

You can download it and other useful functions from http://forum.thegamecreators.com/?m=forum_view&t=193433&b=41

alternatively you can add "0000000"+str(123) and cut what you need with right()

I like Markus' idea. Never thought of that myself, quite an efficient way of doing this


Demo 3 is out now!

some languages have a String$("0",x) function.
then it would be look better like
v$=str(i)
score$=String$("0",8-len(v$))+v$

True, but AppGameKit doesn't.

Your first suggestion is a much more elegant one than the one I had done before (similar to the UCF one).

Now, in Tier 2, sprintf handles all my numeric formatting very nicely.

which is
right( "0000000"+str(value) , length)
this can be also done with
right( str(1000000000 + value) , length)

dunno which is faster
