Format variable as 4 digits with leading zeroes

Question

A store number could be 1-4 digits.

Store #26 would be 0026 in respect to how devices are named, but I\'d like to give the techs the ease of being able to type 26 to

Answer 1

Foreach versions of padleft and tostring. The 0 in the first one has to be quoted:

'4' | % padleft 4 '0'
0004

4 | % tostring 0000
0004

Working with a range:

1..10 | % tostring 0000

0001
0002
0003
0004
0005
0006
0007
0008
0009
0010

With a prefix:

1..10 | % tostring COMP0000

COMP0001
COMP0002
COMP0003
COMP0004
COMP0005
COMP0006
COMP0007
COMP0008
COMP0009
COMP0010
