A simple example might be of use to you.
########################################
# build a name based on a counter variable with leading zeros for values
less than 10
use strict;
use warnings;
my $name; # the name string we are building
# count from 1 to 20 for demonstration
for ( my $count = 0; $count <= 20; $count++ ) {
$name = sprintf( '%02d', $count );
# display the $name string
print "$name, ";
}; # end for

Subject: formatted output to a variable
Hi, dear colleagues.
In a script I wish to build a name (string), which consists also an
countervalue, derived from a loop counter.
For the small values (0 to 9) shall the string consist the leading zero (00
.... 09).
Whats to do?
At the moment I dont see the solution, so big the door is!
Please help me!
Horst
