I have an game that tells the time the user has spent in the game. This works fine all apart from the formatting of the time.

For example I need the time to be presented like so (H/M/S/MS): 08:24:04:02

Where as instead it looks like this:8:24:4:2

How would I go about formatting the time so that when there is single figures there is a zero placed infront?

Thanks for any help
