Leading Zero

[Alan1234]

After using Int(expression) message box shows a number, for example the number 6.  How can I show a leading zero to represent the Tens digit, for example the number 06?

Try function StringFormat.

[Alan1234]

If I use StringFormat won't that make it a string?  I want the result to be a number with a leading zero.  Does StringFormat do this?

[Jos]

Yes it makes it a string as values never have leading zero's. So what are you trying to solve here?

Just trying to show an integer below the number 10 with a leading zero to represent the Tens digit or hundreds digit like in Excel.  From your comment I take it that AutoIt cannot do this.

The internal representation of a number and the format when displaying this number are two different things (as they are in Excel as well).
Use StringFormat before you display the integer. This does not affect the internal representation.

$d_Number = 6
$s_Number = StringRight("00" & $d_Number, StringLen($d_Number) > 2 ? StringLen($d_Number) : 2)
MsgBox(0,"", $s_Number)

$d_Number = 15
$s_Number = StringRight("00" & $d_Number, StringLen($d_Number) > 2 ? StringLen($d_Number) : 2)
MsgBox(0,"", $s_Number)

$d_Number = 115
$s_Number = StringRight("00" & $d_Number, StringLen($d_Number) > 2 ? StringLen($d_Number) : 2)
MsgBox(0,"", $s_Number)

Agreed! Thanks for your comments.

Aspirinjunkie:  Thanks for example scripts.

using StringFormat (as already suggested in post #2)

Local $iWantedDigits = 2 ; <-- choose wanted length

For $i = 0 To 15
    ConsoleWrite(_Leading0($iWantedDigits, $i) & @CRLF)
Next

; returns the passed number formatted
; with a length of $iNrDigits with leading zero
Func _Leading0($iNrDigits, $iNum)
    Return StringFormat('%0' & $iNrDigits & 's', $iNum)
EndFunc   ;==>_Leading0

omg - i mixed up two different cases (leading zeros vs. trailing zeros).
Yes of course - stringformat is the preferred choice for the case of leading zeros.

@Alan1234
Don't be confused with my "solution" - use stringformat as already mentioned.
