Title: Simple Way To Give Leading Zero In a Number
Question: How can we put the leading zero in a Number with specifix n Max Digit place holder ??
Is there any Delphi built in function to do this job ??
Example:
if digit place holder is 5 = 00123
if digit place holder is 3 = 012
Answer:
Actually, Delphi has supported to do this kind of job.
Yes, we can use function "Format" strings to do this
But we must do a little trick here to use it appropriately
Here is my example code:
********************************
function GiveLeadingZero(const aNumber, aMaxDigit: Integer): String;
var formatSpecifier: String;
begin
formatSpecifier := Format('%%.%dd', [aMaxDigit]);
// formatSpecifier will result like this: '%.5d' if aMaxDigit=5
Result := Format(formatSpecifier, [aNumber]);
end;
procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
var aNumber: Integer;
begin
if (TryStrToInt(Edit1.Text, aNumber)) then
Edit2.Text := GiveLeadingZero(aNumber, 5)
else
ShowMessage('Value in Edit1 is not a valid integer value');
end;
********************************
To use those code, simply juzt put two TEdit component on the Form with one button to execute the code
I think it solved the problem.
