Re: Numberformat

[Mark Smith]

The docs say "It affects numbers only when they are calculated and  
then displayed or used as strings."

I found that if you use <put item 1 of someNum + 0 into word 1 of  
padedNum>

this forces padedNum to be a string, and you get '08'

I've always found the numberFormat thing confusing, so I always use  
'format' in these cases...

Best,

Mark

I get a "8".

Here I've extracted this function:

function date_PadTwoZeros someNum
    set the numberformat to "00.######"
    put item 1 of someNum + 0 into padedNum
    set the numberformat to "0.######"
    return padedNum
end date_PadTwoZeros

put date_PadTwoZeros("8") --> "8"

function date_PadTwoZeros someNum
    if the number of chars of someNum = 1 then
        return "0" & someNum
    else
        return someNum
    end if
end date_PadTwoZeros

put date_PadTwoZeros("8") --> "08"
