## Post #1 by @ckrusen

The Configurator Tech Ref guide has the following entry for the Format() function

> string.Format(format, object1, ...)
> String Format( x, y, ...) Converts a value of any data type into a character value using format string.

But fails to mention what the format strings are.  Nothing in the ICE 3.1 Tools Guide either.

Where can I find them?

Or... How do I convert a 1 to 3 digit integer to a string, and keep the leading zeros?
