STRPRINT Script Formatting Request
« on: January 22, 2021, 01:09:45 PM »
Would it be possible to add some more options to STRPRINT's Format String Function?  FmtTMR for an Element stored as seconds, formatted as 1h 59m 59s.  How about FmtDate or FmtTime straight out of a timestamp?  Similar to the options given for Display Foramt on UDT fields.  I'm trying to avoid doing extra math, Seconds x 1000, EPOCH2DT, etc into a helper element just to do a STRPRINT.

I really like the new STRPRINT box's functionality.  Makes things much easier to follow, edit, tweak, etc.

I have found a bug in the STRPRINT's FmtTMR function.  See attached screenshot of results.  If the source number is negative, the "Smart" option is not showing all the significant time periods.

I guess the bug is in processing a negative value at all. That shouldn?t be supported.

Why not? You can have something be 3 hours less than target, or 5 minutes faster than the other, etc?

It would make more sense if it reported the negative symbol one, not for each unit.

It's intended to render the timer accumulator, which my thinking, was never negative.
