Displaying Leading Zeroes

[Tom Bohon]

I'd like to display a two (numeric) digit field with a leading zero. Using the following code

a$ = USING$("##  :  ", ix)

I get a leading space. I tried a couple of things including a *x in the format string without success.

I know this is going to be embarassing but how do I display leading zeroes???

Tnx in advance.

Tom

REPLACE chr$(32) with chr$(48) in a$

Tom,
look at the FORMAT$ function. It allows you to explicitly set leading zeroes.

Thanks to you both. I'll figure this (kinda sorta) new dialect out one of these days ... .

Appreciate it!
