Pbsrinivas,

b=$b+1 wont it be a string concat..?

No. The OP says he wants to add one to the 'b' variable.
Thus the assumption is that 'b' is defined as integer:

Code:

typeset -i b

Quote:

how to retain the zeros

See the following code:

Code:

typeset -i b
typeset -Z7 bOut
b=123
bOut=$b
echo "b = "$b" bOut = "$bOut

Thanks for asking, Pbsrinivas. Smilie
