Package: Coreutils Severity: wishlist seq only supports floating point types like f and g in the --format string.
Other types, including i,d,o,u,x,X would also be useful. e.g. "seq --format 'prefix%02isuffix' 1 50" to print zero-padded 1-50 with user-specified prefix and suffix strings. see http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/48750/creating-numerous-directories-using-mkdir/48758#48758 for a real-world usage example.
