Coll date / Time formatting
I'm trying to store Coll data in the form [date, time time;]
For example: 04102019, 0651 1730;
Every time I input the data above it loses the leading zeros on the date / time. Does anyone know a way to get it to keep them intact?
Many thanks...
you need to make the date format a symbol, then parse it into coll prepended with the store message:
I don't know how you are constructing your date & time tokens, but in any case they need to be in the form of a symbol in max (not as integers)
Thanks a lot for your reply - super helpful and much appreciated.
Is there anyway to define these numbers as symbols within a text edit document and paste it in in one go?
Many thanks!
do you mean double click on the coll object and paste the values in directly from a text editor? depending on what the original format of the text is and what software you are using, somehow use a search and replace operation(s) to reformat the data to what coll expects.
