Re^3: issue with sprintf..

so better use sprintf properly, put a leading 0 in the pattern after %.

Your s/ /0/ substitution is - politely said - less optimal. ;-)

  DB<117> $val=12143
 => 12143

  DB<118> sprintf("%011.0f", $val);
 => "00000012143"

  DB<119> $val=12143951645
 => "12143951645"

  DB<120> sprintf("%011.0f", $val);
 => "12143951645"

please read the documentation for more details. =)

You mean to say I can remove that substitution s/ /0/ and simply use "sprintf("%011.0f", $val);" right?	[reply]
