Re: Don't amputate numberFormat (was: affecting array keys???)

A couple years ago I had a look at format. I gave up after I got the headache. I tried again today. Same results. I cannot even begin to fathom the printf() C rules! I read and read and read, try examples etc. but NOTHING can get me to the point where I can make "1.1" into "01.10" never mind "10

Here's an interesting case I ran into: long time - hours can be single digits, e.g. "8", but minutes and seconds are always two digits, e.g. "00", and, of course, setting the numberFormat does not affect anything. ___ use-livecode mailing list use-liveco

Re: numberFormat affecting array keys???

I could, but I will have to figure out how to convert a numberFormat string like "#0.00" to a format incantation, as the dictionary puts it. The goal is to convert ANY number to ANY numeric format, not just solve this one little issue which I could just code around if I wanted. This sort of thin

Sorry. Change that to: put formatNumber(i, "00") into myArray [i] and it does NOT work. adding 0 to the value with numberFormat set to "00" does NOT format the number. SHEESH! Working on it. Bob S > On Apr 21, 2017, at 08:58 , Bob Sneidar via use-livecode > wrote: > > Okay simple solution:

Re: numberFormat affecting array keys???

OIC. NumberFormat is a STRING function. So then...: set the numberFormat to "00"; put 1+1 into tValue; put tValue produces "02" because livecode converts EVERYTHING to a string before outputting it. It makes more sense I suppose to put it that way. I have gotten into the habit of thinking that n

Again, the VALUE is not being converted by numberFormat, so it ISN'T the LOOP calculation that is doing it! Otherwise the VALUE would ALSO be 1! I loop is using i and it clearly contains 1 and not 01 because that is what shows up in the value. I could put it the otherway. I could say I expected
