How to covert a 2 digit number to a 4 digit number?

Hi all,

Anyone know what to use to convert an 2 digit integer e.g. 93, to a 4-digit integer e.g. 0093?

Thanks :-)

convert 93 to an Integer, then concatenate it with 00, then convert back to a string. note, you can't keep "0093" in an int or a float as it will truncate the extra zeroes.


so,

int a = 93;
Integer b= new Integer(a);
StringBuffer c = new StringBuffer("00" + b.toString());
string d = c.toString();


this would be a wordy way of doing it, but it illustrates what needs to be done.
