in thread Removing Commas and Period in Amount Field

Great that worked. Here's another question. How can I pad a variable with zeros going from right to left? I used chomp on the sub string but it removes the values. Anyone have any ideas? 

my $checknum = "0000000" . substr($source, 18, 12);

Thanks, Dave

    Maybe this is what you're looking for:
    # left-pad with zeros, total length of 21
my $checknum = sprintf("%021d", $source);

    See sprintf.
