NUMBER TO STRING, STRING TO NUMBER

[1der-er]

THIS IS WHAT I AM TRYING TO ACHIEVE..

INSERTED NUMBER = 1

OUTPUT = 001 <I HAVE DONE THIS.. THE PROBLEM IS...

INSERTED NUMBER = 11

OUTPUT IS = 00C  <BECAUSE OF NUMBER TO HEXA STRING FUNCTION.

THIS IS WHAT I WANT TO APPEAR

011

AND SO ON   012........100....101

Convert using Number to Decimal String Function with width as 3

Then replace Space with 0,

Then you will get the expected Result.

Even Change of Properties of a Numeric Control/indicator will help you.

Post the code you have.

You're not describing if you're visualizing strings or numbers. That kind of things are pretty important for understanding your problem (and our answers).

Why use number to Hex String at all???

Use "format into string" with the correct "format string" and you are done:

Because...

Spoiler

it works on 1D arrays. And 2D arrays. And clusters. And Arrays of cluster. And cluster of arrays. And... Well, you get the point.

It's a bit faster too.

Format Into String is usually the end point, as it's much more flexible. But not always. I'd slightly prefer Number to Hex String over Format Into String, if it fits the job.

But it (ie Number to Hex string) does not do the job - in this case.

True, the Number to Hex String won't work if you don't want hex string.

The answer to "why use Number to Hex String at all", in the general context, still applies. (Just crawling back from my Friday afternoon mistake ).

Correct.  And the Number To Decimal String will fill the string width with spaces instead of 0s.  So Format Into String, or even Format Value, inside of a FOR loop would be the way to handle arrays to get what the OP is asking for.
