Hello, if I use the sprintf function it would give me a number STRING, but not
number, so I have to trick the string to become number by adding and
subtracting the number with 1. Is there a better way than this ? I want it to
be a number data type and not string.
e.g
my $strNumber = sprintf("%04d", 123);
my $number = $strNumber + 1 - 1; # to trick Perl to convert to number datatype
instead of string.
Thanks,
William
