hi.
I have written a method that puts out an NSstring like
"12h12m12.34s" using a string format. that works ok, but there is
something I don't like: when the number of minutes or seconds is
less than 10, it'll put out only 1 digit instead of 2. like this:
"1h1m1.23s". is there a way to force leading zeros in there, like
this: "1h01m01.23s"? i don't need a leading zero for the hours.
Do I have to make 3 NSstrings (for hours, minutes and seconds) with
leading zeros and then stick them together? I think I can get that
sorted, but that would be a lot of work. is there an easier way?
I've been doing something similar, starting with separate numbers,
formatting, then creating the string. To do this, I use
NSNumberFormatter.

Maybe a pro on the list can point you in the direction of something
that you could implement on the string as a whole.
