formatting issue

[Sythalin]

I've run into a formatting snag that I hope someone can help with.

function C2C_Convert(c)
    local g = floor(c/10000)
    local s = floor(mod(c/100, 100))
    c = floor(mod(c, 100))
    if c == 0 then c = 00 end
    return g.."g ".. s.."s ".. c.."c"
end
 
function C2C_TotalGold()
    local total = 0
    for k,_ in pairs(pve) do
        if (k ~= "Triumph") and (k ~= "Frost") then -- skip Triumph/Frost since they convert to HP
            local gold = gsub(_G["C2C_"..k.."Result"]:GetText(), "([%a%s]+)", "")  -- nuke the g/s/c tags
            total = total + tonumber(gold)
        end
    end
    C2C_GoldTotal:SetText("Total Gold: ".. C2C_Convert(total))
end

This works as intended, but with one small hitch. When trying to add up gold from badges worth 5.5g, I get:


I know the issue lies in that the gsub takes the text "5g 50s 0c" and formats it to 5500, ending up with missing a zero for the copper. I've tried some formats in the return, but haven't been able to make it show 2 digits instead of 1 if it's a 0...

return g.."g ".. format("%2d", s).."s ".. format("%2d", c).."c"

... and I can't just hard code "00"/eliminate copper because the conversion rate of the silly Justice badges being worth 1g 83s 30c.

Suggestions? (if it's something simple that I should've thought of, feel free to slap me upside the head while you're at it )

try changing

if c == 0 then c = 00 end

to

if c == 0 then c = "00" end

c = 00 is a number, and is stored as 0 because 00 is really just 0

c= "00" formats it as a string, keeping both 0s in tact

edit::

local gold = gsub(_G["C2C_"..k.."Result"]:GetText(), "([%a%s]+)", "")  -- nuke the g/s/c tags
            total = total + tonumber(gold)

what i see from here is if your fontstring is
5g 50s 00c then your gsub should return 55000

so lets say gold is 55000, now lets run it through your function

[highlight=lua]function C2C_Convert(c) --c is 55000
local g = floor(c/10000) --g is 5
local s = floor(mod(c/100, 100)) --s is 50
c = floor(mod(c, 100)) --c is 0
if c == 0 then c = 00 end --if is true, so set c = 00, and then Lua automatically rounds it to 0, c is 0
return g.."g ".. s.."s ".. c.."c" --returning "5g 50s 0c"
end[highlight]

if we just change

c = "00" instead, we get the return value of "5g 50s 00c" which is the expected value

return g.."g ".. s.."s ".. c.."c"

to

return format("%dg %02ds %02dc", g, s, c)
