Hey all: I want to convert strings (ex. '3', '32') to strings with left padded zeroes (ex. '003', '032'), so I tried this:
string1 = '32' string2 = "%03s" % (string1) print string2 >32 This doesn't work. If I cast string1 as an int it works: string1 = '32' int2 = "%03d" % (int(string1)) print int2 >032 Of course, I need to cast the result back to a string to use it. Why doesn't the first example work? -cjl -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
