format string / fixed length / prefix character
Hi,
ive got a string variable that holds numbers (Dim euNumber)
euNumber can be of any length raging from 1-6.
For presentation purpouses euNumber has to be of length 6.
If the original is less than 6 digits long then
a number of "0"'s should be added to the left side of the string
If the string is empty then
leave the string empty.
euNumber is called in using a request.form()
I have tried the following:
Quote:
euNumber=String(6-(Len(euNumber)),"0") & euNumber
If (euNumber="000000") Then
euNumber=""
End If
|
The above method does not work, if the string already is of length 6, it will adds a "0" in front of it still. resulting of a string length of 7
Is there an easier ay to format strings?
Can I use the FormatNumber function to do this?
