Howdy all, I know I'm being a puts but I can't for the life of me get sprintf to do my bidding.
What I'm tryng to do is take a number, say 5 or 10 and make them three digits long with Zeros on the left: IE 5 would become 005 And 10 would become 010 my $five = 5; my $ten = 10; $five = sprintf(???, $five); $ten = sprintf(???, $ten); print $five; print "\n"; print $ten; Should do: 005 010 Help! I'm stupid today! TIA Dan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
