Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

Hi Guys

Back again.
Doing quite well with my little program, but have another enquiry.

I want a countdown clock and as such I have 3 variables. Hrs, Mins, Secs and I want to display the following on the ILI9341 display.

"Hrs", Hrs, "Mins", Mins, "Secs", Secs. Counting down to zero.

How do I go about this as the text command looks like it only wants to display a string?

Thanks for the great help.

Mike

The "STR$" function is your friend

text 0,0,str$(hrs,2,0,"0")+":"+str$(Mins,2,0,"0")+":"+str$(Secs,2,0,"0")

will output HH:MM:SS with leading zeroes for each value if less than 10

Thanks Matherp

It's been a long time since I saw that particular command, back in the days of the commodore 64 etc.

Anyhow thanks again to everybody for the great help.

Mike
