fixed time display

[flexie]

Howdy,
is there any way (like toFixed) to specify that both digits of getMinute() get displayed? ie. 00 not 0?

thanks
Mark

if(getMinute()< 10)gMin = "0"+getMinute();

might be a helpful suggestion

yup, that would work, but I was hoping for something more eligent/built in ...

While there is no built-in function to display hours, minutes and seconds as two digits you can very easily create your own using the Function Library.
For example copy the following code and save it in the FunctionLibrary folder as sampleFunctions.efsLib.

function padTime(input){
    if(input<10) 
        var ret = "0"+input;
    else 
        var ret = input;
    return ret;
} 

Then in your efs you would only need to add the call to the library outside of main after which you can call the function as in the example below

var x = addLibrary("sampleFunctions.efsLib");//calls the library

function main(){
    debugPrintln(x.padTime(getHour(0))+":"+x.padTime(getMinute(0))+" instead of "+getHour(0)+":"+getMinute(0))
} 

The result is shown in the image enclosed below
