Edit mask

[Mike Zahm]

Hello,

 I can't find any information in the wiki about Editi masks.
 Does this exist in LSL?

Example: I want to format a two-digit HOUR using the (string) function.
For now, I use this type of writing to edit an integer HOUR
        string HH = (string)HOUR;
        if (llStringLength(HH) == 1) HH = “0” + HH;

 It would still be simpler with an edit mask ...

why not just

string HH = (string)(HOUR/10) + (string)(HOUR%10);

yes, that's good, I hadn't thought of that, thank you very much

another way to do this

string HH = llGetSubString("0" + (string)HOUR, -2, -1); // get the two rightmost chars

Bravo  I admit that this is a very nice demonstration of the use of negative indexes in a string.
