Hello All,
I want to print some integers in a zero padded fashion, eg. :
print("Testing %04i" % 1)
Testing 0001
but the padding needs to be dynamic eg. sometimes %05i, %02i or some
other padding amount. But I can't insert a variable into the format
specification to achieve the desirable padding.
I would be much obliged if someone can give me some tips on how to
achieve a variably pad a number.
Something like this works:
>>> for ii in ((3,12),(4,140),(5,123)):
... print ("Testing %%%02ii" % ii[0]) % ii[1]
...
Testing 012
Testing 0140
Testing 00123
Emile
