How can i keep zero's in a string with numbers? - AIped - 30.06.2014

Well im making this new textdraw for money on screen.
I have this now;

pawn Код:

new mystring[10];
format(mystring,sizeof(mystring),"$%02d",pData[playerid][pCash]);

It shows the correct value but for example;
the string shows $100
but i actually want it to show $00000100 and so on.

I have read the wiki about it here https://sampwiki.blast.hk/wiki/Format
It doesnt explain the '02' part in %02d..maybe someone can explain what that does too ? as it might be related to my
question.

thanks in advance

I was searching for your answer, as I really never tried making a money system with textdraw.
I found this, now of course, you have to re-write it in your code, as I just copy-pasted it.

pawn Код:

forward CheckMoney(playerid); 
public CheckMoney(playerid) 
{ 
    new string[128]; 
     
    if(GetPlayerMoney(playerid) < 10) 
    { 
        format(string, sizeof(string), "0000000%iFt", GetPlayerMoney(playerid)); 
        TextDrawSetString(Ft[playerid], string); 
        TextDrawShowForPlayer(playerid, Ft[playerid]); 
        TextDrawShowForPlayer(playerid, Box[playerid]); 
    } 

    if(10 <= GetPlayerMoney(playerid) < 100) 
    { 
        format(string, sizeof(string), "000000%iFt", GetPlayerMoney(playerid)); 
        TextDrawSetString(Ft[playerid], string); 
        TextDrawShowForPlayer(playerid, Ft[playerid]); 
        TextDrawShowForPlayer(playerid, Box[playerid]); 
    } 

    if(100 <= GetPlayerMoney(playerid) < 1000) 
    { 
        format(string, sizeof(string), "00000%iFt", GetPlayerMoney(playerid)); 
        TextDrawSetString(Ft[playerid], string); 
        TextDrawShowForPlayer(playerid, Ft[playerid]); 
        TextDrawShowForPlayer(playerid, Box[playerid]); 
    } 

    if(1000 <= GetPlayerMoney(playerid) < 10000) 
    { 
        format(string, sizeof(string), "0000%iFt", GetPlayerMoney(playerid)); 
        TextDrawSetString(Ft[playerid], string); 
        TextDrawShowForPlayer(playerid, Ft[playerid]); 
        TextDrawShowForPlayer(playerid, Box[playerid]); 
    } 

    if(10000 <= GetPlayerMoney(playerid) < 100000) 
    { 
        format(string, sizeof(string), "000%iFt", GetPlayerMoney(playerid)); 
        TextDrawSetString(Ft[playerid], string); 
        TextDrawShowForPlayer(playerid, Ft[playerid]); 
        TextDrawShowForPlayer(playerid, Box[playerid]); 
    } 

    if(100000 <= GetPlayerMoney(playerid) < 1000000) 
    { 
        format(string, sizeof(string), "00%iFt", GetPlayerMoney(playerid)); 
        TextDrawSetString(Ft[playerid], string); 
        TextDrawShowForPlayer(playerid, Ft[playerid]); 
        TextDrawShowForPlayer(playerid, Box[playerid]); 
    } 

    if(1000000 <= GetPlayerMoney(playerid) < 10000000) 
    { 
        format(string, sizeof(string), "0%iFt", GetPlayerMoney(playerid)); 
        TextDrawSetString(Ft[playerid], string); 
        TextDrawShowForPlayer(playerid, Ft[playerid]); 
        TextDrawShowForPlayer(playerid, Box[playerid]); 
    } 

    if(10000000 <= GetPlayerMoney(playerid) < 999999999) 
    { 
        format(string, sizeof(string), "%iFt", GetPlayerMoney(playerid)); 
        TextDrawSetString(Ft[playerid], string); 
        TextDrawShowForPlayer(playerid, Ft[playerid]); 
        TextDrawShowForPlayer(playerid, Box[playerid]); 
    } 
    return 1; 
}

Just replace the 2 in "%02d" with whatever length you want it to be. What this means is: make sure the output is always 2 characters long. If it isn't, pad it with zeros.
