Title: Can't parse an Integer with FmtInt in STRPRINT?
Post by: Bolt on July 14, 2021, 10:30:28 AM

Is there a way I can take the last 2 digits from a number, and display it in STRPRINT?  FmtInt(D0,dec,2) doesn't seem to do the trick, it will put all the digits in there.

I'm sure I can do it with STRPRINT, STRSUB, and then use STRPRINT again to use it in my longer string, but surely there's a way to do this all in one instruction?

You might want to use MOD 100 first to isolate the last two digits.

Thanks Bernie, I got so focused on strings in forgot about simple math...

If you want 102 to display as 02, don't forget to set the Justification parameter in FmtInt to ZeroPad.

Yes, I made sure to do that.

Still, shouldn't STRPRINT FmtInt(D0,dec,2,zeropad) take a longer number and only print the 2 digits, without first having to do MATH D0 = D1 % 100?

No.  That is the minimal width, not maximum width.  That's how most numeric- text formatting mechanisms work.  If you want to truncate it, do you want the first 2 digits or the last 2 digits?
