Number question

[Killer]

In autoit, if I set a variable to a number example 08, autoit will display the number as only 8. Is there anyway to force it to display the number as it is - 08?

You'd have to set it between quotes, forcing into a string format.

$num = "08"

Note that since this is now a string, you would need to convert it back to a number format if you're doing any calculations that rely on it being the number 8. If that's the case, you can switch back by using Int(), ie;

Int($num)

...would return the number 8.

You could use StringFormat also:

$Var2 = 8

$Replace = StringReplace(StringFormat('%2g', $Var2), ' ', 0)

MsgBox(0, 'Test2', $Replace)

Thanks for the help. I will try to understand the concepts.
