time format

[bebig]

hi, I have a Question about time.
how can I make the hour and minute be two digits??
for example,
5--> 05
can I use like this way??
if {$minFormat <10 } {
set minFormat "0$minFormat"
}
thank you in advance

Let's say you have a variable, hr, for the hours, and another one, mn, for the minutes. Then format "%02i:%02i" $hr $mn will format the time as hh:mm.

hi...thank you for your response

this is my code..and I tried, but I could not get two digits.

-----------

set minFormat [expr int(fmod($endTimeMin,60))]

set hourFormat [expr int($endTimeHour + 1)]

#format "%02i" $minFormat ---> this is only for the minute.

#this is what I have now..this works, but it does not look good...so....
if {$minFormat <10 } {
set minFormat "0$minFormat"
}

--------------------

Thank you in advance...

Well, it depends on what you want to do with it. For instance, if you just want to return the formatted value in the console, puts [format "%02i" $minFormat] will do it. If you want a persistent string that has the formatted characteristics, set minString [format "%02i" $minFormat] is what you want.
