fs2 for tool number


Recommended Posts

Hello, 

Is there any way to added trailing zero base on input  in fs2 

fs2 7   0 4 0 4t     #Integer, force four trailing 

fmt  "T"  7  t$

when i gives input to tool no. as below

input - output to be accepted 

1 - T1000  ( single digit input ) 

11- T1100 ( two digit input )

101 - T1010 ( Three digit input )

T1000 - T1000 ( 4 digit input ) as it's.

to meet above requirement. Any suggestion in above fs2

Make a new FS and define it like you need.

This isn't really an "output formatting issue". This is an "input formatting issue".

There isn't a fs or fs2 function available (nor is there another of the 400 or so Functions), which would convert a value based on, 1's, 10's, 100's, or 1,000's place, into the format you would like.

You want to manipulate leading zeros, not trailing. By definition, trailing zeros always occur after a decimal point, not before.

Whenever you manipulate before the decimal, you want "leading" zeros.

Moreover, you want to convert all "input values" into a 'scaled 1000's place value'. (or something along those lines.)

Here is what I would do:

      # Create a variable named 'tool_num'.
	  # Format as "integer"
	  if t$ < 10, tool_num = t$ * 1000 #Convert to 1000's
	  if t$ > 9 & t$ < 100, tool_num = t$ * 100 #Convert to 100's
	  if t$ > 99 & t$ < 1000, tool_num = t$ * 10 #Convert to 10's place
	  if t$ > 999, tool_num = t$
	  pbld, n$, *tool_num, sm06, e$

Notice that I replaced the "*t$" on the Tool Change Line, with the manipulated variable.

Also note; you'll need to modify 'pwrtt$' (ptooltable), in order to get your Tool List to match the output tool values.

Thank You Sir, 

# Create a variable named 'tool_num'.
	  # Format as "integer"
	  if t$ < 10, tool_num = t$ * 1000 #Convert to 1000's
	  if t$ > 9 & t$ < 100, tool_num = t$ * 100 #Convert to 100's
	  if t$ > 99 & t$ < 1000, tool_num = t$ * 10 #Convert to 10's place
	  if t$ > 999, tool_num = t$
	  pbld, n$, *tool_num, sm06, e$

above script i have already implemented . My intention is there should provision in fs2 

For example program number -   fs2 7 4 0 4 0l  #Integer, force four leading

when i enter program no 1 output is O0001 ( Right - Left  ).

Program no. fs2  is completely  reverse in my case. ( output should be  - O1000 )
