Adding leading zeros to a meter

[fenshysa]

I'm new to rainmeter and have been learning things as I go. I figured the best way to learn would be to create, so I've been working on a video game themed skin. For the input/output meter I've got it set up to look like the "Score" and "High Score" on an old video game. What I would like to do is have a set number of digits with leading zeros before the numbers. For example:

000000 = 0
001000 = 1,000
100000 = 100,000

The number of leading zeros would have to adjust to compensate so there's always the same amount of number places. That's where I've been running into the problem.

The only information I've been able to find in a search for leading zeros is the leading zero on dates/times. Would I have to use an if/then statement to determine how many leading zeros are added to each number (i.e. if # =< 99 then add "00000")?

Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated.

This can be accomplished by dividing by a factor of 10, using the numofdecimals field, and a substitute.

For example, if you want a number with 6 digits:

Code: Select all

[Variables]
Digits=6

[Number]
Measure=Calc
Formula=1234

[Div]
Measure=Calc
Formula=Number/(10**#Digits#)
Substitute="0.":""

[Text]
Meter=String
MeasureName=Div
Numofdecimals=#Digits#
