Can you post a new version of the code you tried? I have a feeling you are trying to either update the default case but still passing in a customRepl solution (a string with a replacement pattern). Or you are changing the wrong part of the format string. It should be possible to make the default case be padded to 3 places, if you don't pass in a string with your own pattern. Another approach would be to refactor the function to have a second param for the fill size and default it to 3. Then you would just fill the counter to that padding before formatting it into the base string.
