Hello list
I am having trouble getting leading zeros to show up.
The following is an example of what i mean.
dirname="dir"
dup_count=000
dup_times=5
while [ "${dup_count}" -ne "${dup_times}" ]; do
dup_count=$(( $dup_count + 001 ))
dname="${dirname}-${dup_count}"
echo "${dname}"
done
Outputs this
dir-1
dir-2
dir-3
dir-4
dir-5
What I really want to see is this
dir-001
dir-002
dir-003
dir-004
dir-005
dir-013
dir-111
ect
How do I get the leading zeros to show?
Thanks for your help
