sprintf dynamic padding

[papsphilip]

trying to use a variable for sprintf instead of hardcoding the number of leading zeros. is that possible?

string pad = '%0' + var + 'd';
string padnum = sprintf(pad, numbertopad);

Hi, there.
Try something like this:
 

int padding = 5;
int number = 44;

string attr = sprintf("%*0d", padding, number);
