appending zero number to string conversion

[d1sturbanc3]

So I have a 0 in int format. I want to convert it to a string so that it says "00." Is there an easy way to do it in labview? or If I have 1 in int, I want to convert it to a string value of "01." Help?

Thanks!

You just need to use %02d as the format specifier with  your Format Into String function. If you move your mouse over the function and right click, you can select 'Edit Format String'. The popup will provide help.

Hi,

You can use "Format into String" with a format of "%02d."

Change the 2 if you want a different number of digits. Omit the "." if you don't want a decimal point.

EDIT: Bother, too slow in typing! PS. Still check out the decimal point!
