Hello,
I have a dataset with an Id columns like:
4/3003
55/333
66/22
I want to put leading zeros to get:
00000004/3003
000000055/333
0000000066/22
How can I solve this?
?sprintf
?formatC
I may have been too quick. Padding with leading zeros using sprintf is
described for numeric but not for character types. There are several
character padding funcitons when you search:
