It's a formatting string, not a number o

With a C mindset, yes. There a leading 0 can have meaning. In Pascal an
extra leading zero never has meaning.

Sounds like I found a case where 'C' is more intuitive than pascal ;-).
Seriously, isn't "Format" an imitation of C's print

Thanks, that works.
I did read that page, but only saw 'padded with spaces' and assumed
Precision was only applicable to floating point value

Hi,
How can I zero-pad using Format ? In C, using printf it's done using an
extra 0 digit in for the width: '%04d' with parameter 3 will print
'0003'. Wouldn't this be useful for FPC's Format as well, or is there
another way ?
in fpc it's a dot.
