how to return date or time always in two digits?

[mikejhelms]

Hi. I'm using writeln to write intraday data to a text file but the data must be in a certain format. Can anyone suggest the correct code to define a variable which will return, e.g. the hour of the current bar, always in two digits. For example, I would like to be able to write one in the morning as 01, nine in the morning as 09, and ten in the morning as 10. That is I need the zero in front of the returned value if the value is a single digit. I'd also like to be able to do this with month, day, minute and second.
Any suggestions would be appreciated?

Mike
