Thread Subject: sprintf format

Dear all,

After many years using Matlab, I lost both my C language skill and books. The problem is simple. However, I don't know how to do it.

I'd like to print out time in standard time format, suppose
hh=1;
mm=3;
ss=25;
str1=sprintf('%2d:%2d:%2d',hh,mm,ss);
text(1,0,str1);

it gives me
1: 3:25
However, I would like it to be
01:03:25

How could I do it?

Thanks a lot in advance

Hi,
Try
str1=sprintf('%02d:%02d:%02d',hh,mm,ss);
