Hi,
How can I format a string with leading zeros (eg. seven zeros) through the "Format" string function in text editor?
For example, in attribute creator, I want to create a new attribute which takes input id field (e.g. its value 5), and I want to return 00000005.
The screenshot below better elaborates my case.
Any help is highly appreciated.
Hani,

I think you want to pad a string? This can be done using
@(PadLeft,<string>,<padlenght>,<padchar>)your example
@PadLeft(@Value(AttributeA),8,0)As an alternative you can use the StringPadder.

Thanks for the valuable input Danilo,
This works perfectly with 1-digit number, but I need a solution that formats the string based on number of zeros (Maybe this is not elaborated in my question). For example if the number is 13, the result should be 6 zeros: 00000013
