Where did you get this sprintf "%0${len}d", $number; The sprintf documentation, perhaps? `printf '<%06s>', 12; # prints "<000012>"` [download] BTW: The thread you responded to is 7 years old. -- No matter how great and destructive your problems may seem now, remember, you've probably only seen the tip of them.
