Force 2 Digits

[sns2015]

I'm trying to create a log for an application I'm making and I can't figure out how to get the seconds or hours readout from the Date and Time object to add a zero to the beginning of normally single-digit numbers. Is there a way to do this? Thanks for any help.

I don't think there's a default option for this. The best thing you can do is, if there's no simpler way, use a condition that determines how long an hour/minute string is and set the text to zero ("0") plus the one digit.

I just did this with a counter:

Left$("0000", 4-Len(Str$(value( "Counter" ))))+Str$(value( "Counter" ))

It sets the string to "0000" and then tacks on the value of the counter, removing the appropriate amount of 0's to fit it in.

For a single digit with the date and time, insert this:

Set string to:
Left$("00", 2-Len(Str$(hours of( "Date & Time" ))))+Str$(hours of( "Date & Time" ))

Right$( "0" + Str$( value("Counter") ), 2) ?

I knew there was a simpler way to do it! Use MuddyMole's method.

Aw muddymole beat me to it. Yeah, that's the best way to do it.
