LabVIEW and TestStand numeric formating is different

[Taylored_Solution]

I am using LabVIEW to create my test report for TestStand and wanted to carry over the numeric formating from TS steps.  The problem I run into is that TS and LabVIEW don't follow the same format syntax. 

For example in TS to convert to an integer is %i and LV it is %d.  TestStand also has syntax "$" and "#" which LV doesn't understand.

# - means show decimal point or radix

$ - means show trailing zeros

When I wire the numeric format from the TS property directly the LV format to string function I get errors.  My bandaid fix is the do a search and replace on the different conditions mentioned.

I was going to put this in the bug report/ new feature request link, but couldn't find it.
