Adding a zero to single digit variable

Question

Trying to add a zero before the varaible if it\'s less than 10 and create said directory. I can\'t seem to get the zero to add correctly. Keeps resulting in making 02.1.20

Answer 1

I created this simple utility to perform this, Good Luck , hope this helps stack'ers!!

for i in {1..24}
do
charcount=`echo $i|wc -m`
count=`expr $charcount - 1`
if [ $count -lt 2 ];
then
i="0`echo $i`"
fi
echo "$i"
done
