Is it possible to get Format() to pad with leading zeros rather than
spaces, particularly in the case of hex numbers? My understanding is
that printf() interprets e.g. %02s as being padded with zeros.
For string arguments, this is not possible.
My mistake, I meant %02x.
You can use %.2d for this, or %.2x for hex numbers:
araminta: >./tf
000F
araminta: >cat tf.pp
uses sysutils;
begin
writeln(format('%.4x',[15]));
end.
Thanks, I now see that is described in the example at
http://lazarus-ccr.sourceforge.net/docs/rtl/sysutils/format.html but not
in the preceding formal documentation.
Reminder noted with thanks.
