How to set a length of a Variable

rtr1900 · May 18th, 2006, 07:32 AM

Is there a way to set a fixed length of a string.
for ejample when I recieve "15,45" i want it always to have the length 6 so it returns "015,45"?
Is this possible?

Thx

you will have to use the format method of the string to format it. There is no way to explicitly set the length of a variable.

Thx Jbenson001,

I used the formatnumber command and it resolved my problem.

Any change to respond to my other question in this forum?
To write a "tab" to a TXT file? So that I have the text ordered in columns....

Thx,
