I have a real basic Delphi 5 question, forgive me for asking such a
silly
one but
I cannot sort it out from the help
ATNMBR:string;
TNMBR:integer;
I am trying to get ATNMBR (string) to contain an integer using 3
characters, e.g.
1 -> 001
5 -> 005
10 -> 010
100 ->100
ATNMBR:=format('%3d',[TNMBR]); doesn't
seem to
work, produces ' 1'
ATNMBR:='001'; this works,
unfortunately only caters
for the
case when
TNMBR = 1
The format help talks of a prec (precision) qualifier, but doesn't
give an
example of how to use it
