Topic awaiting preservation: Format number (Page 1 of 1)

Hi,

Does anyone have a function for converting a number to "time-format"?

Ex. If I type 8 and tab out of a field I would like it converted to 08,00

Same with:
1,30 = 01,30
01,3 = 01,30
1200 = 12,30 and so on

Just wonder if you have it, i have tried to create it but the code gets to messy!

Kind regards

" 1200 = 12,30 "

For the others, it's just a question of adding some zeros and cutting the string at the right position.

If there's no coma, you can simply add ",00" to the string. Otherwise, add "00" at the end and cut the string 2 characters after the coma. If the coma is not the 3rd character, add 2 minus position of the coma "0" at the begining of the string and voilà.

comma not coma

Yeah... it's just a matter of converting the number to a string and padding a zero if it's shorter than you want... should be pretty simple. :X

var foo = 5;
var bar = foo.toString(10);
while(bar.length < 2) bar = "0" + bar;

alert(bar);

(untested but should work :X)

Hehe, I am so sorry...

I have actually googled it. I am called Mr Google by some friends. But this time I did not find anything useful in my opinion. Maybe I didnt Google enough. Fair enough.

I did not ask anyone to do it for me, just asked if someone already have done a smart function for this and was kind to share it. So that I didn´t have to invent the wheel again, hehe.

I have and can of course make this function with lots of if-statements...

If indexOf string has a comma and the length of the string is 4 and bla bla then insert 0 before and so on, but I just wonder if there is some chance of making this with regexps or some kind of built in padding javascript functions that I cant find on google.

If I would ask you guys stuff every time I have a problem this asylum would be spammed

poi: yes 12 = 12.30 was a typo, sorry!

Merry Christmas by the way!
