There may be other articles out there documenting this but I can't keep trying to find these in Google so referring to my own website, this is a doddle for me to find each time.
Why?
I have to do this so often that it deserves an article. Though writing a whole page for this is probably unwarranted so I may rename this article later to common things I need to do in Zoho Deluge.
How?
So going through the forums you may find the following example:
copyraw
string padWithLeadingZeros(int finalStringLength, int startingNumber)
{
return leftpad(toString(input.startingNumber), input.finalStringLength).replaceAll(" ", "0");
}
- string padWithLeadingZeros(int finalStringLength, int startingNumber)
- {
- return leftpad(toString(input.startingNumber), input.finalStringLength).replaceAll(" ", "0");
- }
This looks like pretty old code and not wanting to cause offence, it isn't the JavaScript style or chain I like which appends the functions instead and is clearer for me personally to understand:
copyraw
// I want 010
v_NextIndex = 10;
// yields 10
v_NextIndexStr = v_NextIndex.leftpad(3);
// yields " 10"
v_NextIndexStr = v_NextIndex.leftpad(3).replaceAll(" ", "0");
// yields "010"
- // I want 010
- v_NextIndex = 10;
- // yields 10
- v_NextIndexStr = v_NextIndex.leftpad(3);
- // yields " 10"
- v_NextIndexStr = v_NextIndex.leftpad(3).replaceAll(" ", "0");
- // yields "010"
