put format("%2d:%02d:%02d", 9,50,0) produces 9:50:00
put format("%02d:%02d:%02d", 9,50,0) produces 09:50:00
put format("%0d.%0d.%0d.%0d",192,168,1,1) produces 192.168.1.1
put format("%03d.%03d.%03d.%03d",192,168,1,1) produces 192.168.001.001
I am not sure there is any delimited set of strings or numeric
information you can't format. I do get that "00:00:00" is more intuitive
than "%02d:%02d:%02d", which is why I suspect it is just the learning
curve of understanding the syntax of the format function that prevents
more people from using it.
