Padding with zeroes

Hi,

I have a number I need to display that can be up to 7 digits long. If the number is less than 1000000 they want the leading spaces filled with zeroes. Thus, 53489 would be displayed as 0053489. In other languages I would use sprintf, but I can't find anything quite like that in CF.

Any help appreciated,
wdn2k

Thanks.

I came up with another solution that involved checking the length, figuring out the difference, and looping that number of times to prepend the zeroes, but your solutiuon is MUCH cleaner.

I knew there had to be an easy solution for this common problem.
