Hi all, I am usiung expr in a shell script and need to pad it's output to always be 3 characters. An example will explain thing better: % expr 007 + 1 Output is 8 I need the output to be 008 I checked the expr man page, but nothing there solves my problem. Anyone out there got one? Thanks in advance.... --------------------------------------------------------------------- Would you like to receive faxes to your personal email address? You can with mBox.
