Hi,
How can I zero-pad using Format ? In C, using printf it's done using an

another way ?
in fpc it's a dot.

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

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

It's a formatting string, not a number only.
