UDF: _PadZero()

[FuryCell]

Here is a UDF i just made to pad a number with zeros.

for example if you did:

_PadZero(-3.14,2)

it would return 03.14.

it also knows when a number has enough places already.

_PadZero(003.14,3)

would return 003.14

and it works with floats and negative numbers too.

Useful for when you have to display numbers and want to always have the same amount of places.

Here is the header.

Very nice. It also removes padding if there is too much I like it!

I was planning to put that feature in. It's already in???

_PadZero("0003.14", 2)

I think you're the first person I've met that put a feature into a function and didn't realize it

You already have a function in AutoIT it is StringFormat

$n=12.34
$s=StringFormat("'%010.3f'",$n)
MsgBox(0,"zeropadding",$s)
